Here's a weird one...


I just bought an Anthem 225i Integrated amp to rum Maggie 1.7s. I like the amp a lot but it did something scary the other day. I was just adjusting volume with the remote, and the volume just kept increasing. By the time I was out of my chair and across the room it was maxed out! The amp would not respond to the remote, OR to manually hitting the power button! I turned the volume knob down but it kept trying to go back up. I finally had to kill power to the amp. When I fired everything back up, all was normal, and it hasn't done it again. No damage, luckily, to the speakers.

Anyone experience anything like this? Any thoughts?

Have a look at your remote. Sometimes if you push a button down a little too hard or at an angle, it will get stuck underneath the face. It happens all the time with my Wadia remotes. The rubber buttons have a hard time sliding when they come in to contact of the metal used to make the remote. That's probably what happened to Xti16's Bryston. I'm not too familiar with the remote that comes with the Anthem, but its worth looking at. It drove me crazy until I finally figured out what was happening.
You can check it. Play with the volume buttons and see if you can make them stick. If you can't, its probably not the remote.
