Hi,
I live in Canada and I have owned several different processors from Anthem. It's a good solid company and they do make decent product but when I did a direct comparison between the new AVM 60 (on loan) and my Anthem Statement D2v, an older Anthem processor, it was not even close.
I then called Anthem because I was shocked at the results and they were very honest and said that all the parts from the previous $12,000 D2v were hand-picked for quality control and the DAC's were much better in the older D2v. If you do not need some of the newer formats but still want HDMI and are strictly looking for sound quality than the D2v is among the best processors ever built. They can be found for less than $2000 in excellent condition with full ARC systems on the used market.
Cheers and this is my opinion for whatever it's worth.
