In receiver land, you generally want the biggest receiver so that you have the largest power supply. This will give you the most bass/midbass power and also have smoother sound overall. The increase of watts/channels is the reason why the manufacturers have to build a larger power supply.
SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor
Hi everyone,
I’m on a quest to simplify my life and get rid of my separates. In terms of a range of options, I’m probably settling on Anthem. My choices are:
I’m wondering if any of you have direct experience comparing the sound quality of each? I have an external DAC I’ll be using for music sources.
The processor total cost of ownership is significantly higher, not to mention space and wiring required.

- MXR 720 - 7 Channel receiver ($2,500) and use external amps for L and R
- AVM 60 a pure processor ($3k)
- Classe SSP used (~ $3k)
