New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
I've researched the Anthem products and from what I've read, the Pre-Pro has a better power supply and much better DAC's than the receivers.I'm sure you could tell a difference, especially in 2-ch listening.  But since you have a dedicated 2-ch sy... 
New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing
I have not had the chance to sit down and audition the Anthem AVM 60 or 70 versus one of their MRX receivers.  I think in your situation you would probably be fine with the receiver. I'm a big fan of 2-ch music though so personally, I would want t... 
Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed...
Some great responses. I’m watching with interest because I am going through pretty much the exact same ordeal but with different equipment.I’m leaning towards Anthem Pre/Pro to go along with my Aragon amps.There are some used Anthem products onlin... 
Should I Sell My Oppo 203?
If it were the 205 then I would say keep it because the audio is fantastic.  I have the 105 for my home theater and the 95 in a smaller system and I just use it for audio only.  Hard to find a CD player that sounds as good for the money, plus it p... 
Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's...
I used to have a pair of DQ30's and felt the same way about the highs.Have you ever tried switching out the tweeters?Check out PBN's.  I have the Montana EPS speakers and they are exactly as you described.  Great separation, lows are well defined ... 
DVD player playing CD's
It really depends on the player.  I have a Rotel CD player that listed for around $1000.  I have a OPPO 95 DVD-BluRay player that also listed for around $1000.  I think the OPPO sounds better playing CD's that the Rotel does, plus it plays SACD's ... 
We spend too much time talking about tweeters
Recently had a tweeter go bad in one of my speakers.  I picked a replacement up off eBay and it was worse than the original one that went bad.  Ended up buying a new one from a reputable source.The tweeter may not produce most of the sound but whe... 
Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2
You say that the center speaker is working fine. How about removing the tweeter from that speaker and connecting it to one of your Sofia’s to see if it works.I’m in the middle of replacing the Vifa tweeters on the speakers in my second system now ... 
Looking for a good compact cd/stereo receiver for my wife...
I had a compact Denon system in my garage that sounded great (for what it was).  Had a built in CD player, a tuner, and an aux so you could add more gear.  It finally petered out on me after about 10 years of being in the SC heat.I bought a compac... 
For Anthem AV Enthusiasts
Saw these and read the reviews.  It sounds like they've made some nice improvements but I'm waiting for the AVM60 to go on sale when these come out.   
Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings)
That's a good sized room.  Even if you went with a larger sub I would probably add a second one to the mix.Depends on which sub and what type of bass you are looking for too.  Music, Home Theater, combo of both.....etc. 
Advice on CD transport
I had Theta separates for awhile and enjoyed the sound.  You can find a Theta transport online for a decent price.  I also had a Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 transport that was excellent.  I've seen a few of those floating around online as well.  I've he...
