The new anthem lineup looks really exciting and I've been thinking about the avm70 as well. I think your question is basically the same one I have regarding using separates or integrated. I'm not sure what the answer is. I am.planning on waiting to see what bugs come out and how they review. The release date keeps getting pushed back on all the anthem new lineup products. Keep in mind there does not seem to be immediate 2.1 hdmi support if that matters to you.
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?
