Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30


Beside the new Statement series, I heard AVM 30 came out (probably replacement for AVM 20) from Anthem

Anybody has anything to say about AVM 30?

I was going to buy AMV 20 and now there's AVM 30...
so, should I look for bargain AVM 20 or is AVM 30 worth the extra $$$

I saw MSRP of $29000 for AMV 30 which is a bit too much for me...

So, you get more component inputs (needed), more memory for future upgrades, and different color LEDs. Well if you only have one or two component sources, pick up a used AVM2 or 20 and take the extra cash and treat yourself to a weekend at DisneyLand.

Good luck,
I agree with Prpixel. I have have owned the AVM-20 for almost two years now. I would not sell this unit unless there was an emergency. The sound just keeps getting better and better over time....two channel analog direct/or digital and HT. I would highly recommend the AVM-20 if there is a cost savings involved in regards to choosing between the 30 versus the 20.

Good luck on your choice.
Ok, Ok...someone point me to some links to some REAL REVIEWS BY PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS!
yeah I know it's sometimes not accurate, and often biased. yet I'd really like to here some real reviews for myself.
Then I'll try to hunt down a deal with one of these things setup and see if I can make anything of it.
Personally, I'd like to think the AVM20/30 whatever is killer! It looks like a good piece, and has lots of features...and comes from a company with a history(old SF) of good gear originally. Hummmm..maybe I'll call Paradigm and ask em who's dealing Anthem in my area, and who's got one set up for demo'ing.
onhometheater.com reviews it in their August, 2004 issue:

It is now 2008, I have a Anthem avm 30 after owning ayre acoustics v-5xe,k-5,cx-7 2 channel system. The Anthem does everything the Ayre did and has changed my mind about cost no object stuff. It doesnt get any better then this other then different tonal qaulities someone may prefer to the next person, and interconnects and cables will do this at a very cost effective price.
