Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input!
tesseract86, you’ll never regret your choice. Once in a while Anthem runs a promotion of 20% off on it’s receivers and amps. Typically 2-3 times a year or may be just twice, not sure. Depending on when it was last time you can try to figure out if...

If you aren’t looking to move to Atmos then a MRX-520 would do the justice. I was in a similar situation and was looking at MRX-520 and a 3 or 5 ch. amp. I already have a Rotel 200w/ ch stereo amp for my L/R, so the 3/5 ch amp would replace my ste... 
Anthem MCA 325 or Rotel 1582 with B&W CM10
A2/ A5 are not on my budget. The reason I was interested in MCA amp is because I thought they would pair well with MRX-720 that I have. I’ll look for a Parasound then. Also, right now it’s 70%-80% HT since I don’t usually get a chance to listen to... 
Anthem MCA 325 or Rotel 1582 with B&W CM10
Not yet. I missed on a good deal on a MCA-325 because I wasn’t sure if it was worth the upgrade. On the lookout for another one... also I want to get an amp that can reduce the brightness on my CM 10s, it’s not too much but on some music it’s a ta... 
Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI
I had the HDMI issue with my SR5009 couple years ago, one went out after almost 3 years of use. It was only powering a pair of B&W CM1 S2 bookshelf speakers. I had to manually switch between my TV and projector connectors. Now it’s in my bedro... 
Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp
Got myself an Anthem MRX 720 after much debate and at a very good price (I guess). A lot of difference between my old Marantz SR5009 and the Anthem, esp. with the 2 ch. music. Haven't setup my ARC yet, tried with my iPhone and didn't work. I have ...

520 it is then. Thanks for all your suggestions. 
Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp
My bad. 125W/ ch is good enough for my center but I was thinking to upgrade to a better receiver on a whole, esp. the ARC might help me with the living room setup.so I assume a 100W/ ch is good enough too for the center, if I go the MRX 520 route? 
Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp
Sorry, it's 100W/ Ch on the 520 vs 140W/ Ch on the 720. 
Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp
720 is the ideal but just trying to save some $$ so I can get a separate 3 or 5 channel amp later. 520 is 100/ ch vs. 125/ ch on the 720. I’m not sure how much I’ll get when only driving 3 speakers in each. 
Center channel amplification needed for Marquis XD, what are you using?
What Center channel speaker do you have? Did you get an amp yet? Which one? 
Upgrade A/V Receiver or get 5 Ch. Amp
I agree with you and I want to go with the Anthem, but my question is which should I choose first: MRX 520 for now (since it’s a living room setup in a town home)? If yes, then is the power enough to drive my CM Center 2 S2 (30-200W recommended) i...
