Here’s an excellent deal on one of the new Yammy AVRs if it has enough power for you…
Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else?
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience comparing Emotiva to Anthem?
I am about to buy a new system for the livingroom that we are building over here. This system in this space will be tasked with driving a 5.2.4 home theater system for TV and Movies but it will also need to provide excellent sound quality for listening to music. The sound quality for the music is a top priority. The source material for this system will be Netflicks and Apple TV for the video content and Amazon HD Music for the Music.
I am considering either the Emotiva RMC-1L processor and XPA9 Gen3 Amp combo or the Anthem MRX 1140 8K. The Emotiva combo is a bit more expensive and would also require a network streamer for Amazon HD Music which will be a bit more $$.
What is considered to have the better sound quality between these two options?
Is there something else that I should be looking at?

@mikelavigne - thanks for the tip on the Trinnov. I love the idea but it’s quite a bit more than I want to spend. Even if it could be upgraded into the future I’m not ready to commit to that level of cost. Very cool product though
@balooo2 - I was really into the Anthem stuff and listened to one at a local shop in 2 channel mode. It sounded amazing. I’ve just been put off by all of the stuff I’ve read online about the bugs and software issues. |
@melchionda I hear you loud and clear as I had the same concerns but I can tell you the recent updates have addressed the issues. If you'll notice many of the problems are likely posted 3+ months ago. My unit is as stable as can be in all regards. Hope you find the sweet spot you are looking for! |
Thanks @balooo2. You are not making this easier! LOL! It's hard to figure out what to do and I'm looking for reasons to take these off the list. |
