Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30


Beside the new Statement series, I heard AVM 30 came out (probably replacement for AVM 20) from Anthem

Anybody has anything to say about AVM 30?

I was going to buy AMV 20 and now there's AVM 30...
so, should I look for bargain AVM 20 or is AVM 30 worth the extra $$$

I saw MSRP of $29000 for AMV 30 which is a bit too much for me...

I'd like to make a response here...
I noticed nobody is responding regarding the Anthem pre's.
I've been wondering what the AVM's REALLY SOUND LIKE! I hear very little feedback or solid reviews or "media push" or responses on them from reviewers. This concerns me.
I've only briefly heard the AVM2 once, on a very poorly set up system, and it sounded BLAH!
I'd like to think these pieces offer some sonic "goodies". But I just don't hear anyone harping about these!
Anyone have any extensive feedback on these compared to other better pre's out there?....like the krell's, maybe EAD's, etc? I just don't know about these unit's, which otherwise have some good looking features, and APPEAR to be more "audiphile grade" sonically...but couldn't say myself.
Anyone?...anyone?
Ok, Ok...someone point me to some links to some REAL REVIEWS BY PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS!
yeah I know it's sometimes not accurate, and often biased. yet I'd really like to here some real reviews for myself.
Then I'll try to hunt down a deal with one of these things setup and see if I can make anything of it.
Personally, I'd like to think the AVM20/30 whatever is killer! It looks like a good piece, and has lots of features...and comes from a company with a history(old SF) of good gear originally. Hummmm..maybe I'll call Paradigm and ask em who's dealing Anthem in my area, and who's got one set up for demo'ing.
