I owned the Cambridge audio 840a and wasn't impressed. It was a good unit just didn't blow you away. The Anthem is also twice the power.
Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ?
Hello,
I am building a smaller system and I came to find out about this seemingly amazing bargain in the Anthem 225.
Now, the dealer also sells the YBA Design line, Cambridge Audio and Musical Fidelity.
I have no experience with those lines (except with a MF A5 integrated).
I have experience with higher-end (tubes and SS) but nothing from those manufacturers mentioned.
Now the dealer says that the Anthem 225 - is WAY BELOW a cambridge 840A and YBA Design - maybe so, but since he has no demo unit for me to listen to, its hard to say.
On reputation alone, maybe he's right, but look at the Anthem closely, build quality and all. Looks like a bargain for a 1,500 retail price doesn't it ? Any comments?
