I just bought a mrx740. It's by far the best sounding receiver I have ever heard. I have been using it for two channel listening also. I am very happy with it. I heard that in the new recievers they were close to seperates in sound and I would agree. I think you would be happy with that receiver. I don't use the arc either. I have been enjoying 2 channel listening so much that I have only watched one movie with it lol. Quite impressive.
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
I've had my eye on the new Anthem line-up recently. But I'm torn between the AVM70 processor only vs the MRX740 receiver.
The receiver offers pre outs for all the channels I'd need. So I wouldn't really use the amps in the receiver.
BUT, MRX 's resell is going to be much better because it's all-in-one - fewer demand for the AVM, and the AVM is $1000 more.
So, are the internals of the AVM really all that much better? And how much difference would you really notice on multichannel movie playback?
Thoughts on this?
