The Anthem MX 520 cost me about $1100 when purchased from my dealer. There may have been a slight price increase in the year since, but it should be close to enough to your budget to justify a little stretch and the advantage of owning a new component. I greatly prefer Anthem sound without Room Correction to Marantz and Denon. With ARC, it’s not even close, imo
Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed...
I need some help. Been gone for years and much has changed and Im just overwhelmed with the years of info on the forums. I dont want to make a foolish decision and would so appreciate the communities gracious knowledge and assistance.
Im 75% music and 25% HT.
Gear:
Paradigm Studio 100 v4 mains Paradigm CC690 center
Paradigm V2monitor surrounds
SVS PB13 Ultra Sub
Emotiva XPA 5 amp (200x5)
Keeping all the above
The old 5 channel Rotel HT1055 receiver (no HDMI) needs to upgrade even though I love the sound! Im fine with 5.1 and not interested in Atmos. Im also fine with a used item. What do you reccomend for some killer sound and updated HDMI?
