"By investing completely in sound and build quality, they have been able to make one of the best performing A/V receivers on the market." - Peter Loeser, Home Theater Shack

Home Theater Shack published a fantastic review of the Anthem MRX 710!

"If I had to summarize this receiver with just a few words I'd say "simplicity and consistency"... made for those who prefer to enjoy music in it's purest form, without a sea of features and settings to navigate and/or probably disable. That's not to say the MRX-710 doesn't have what you need. It absolutely gives you all you need to build an amazing home theater system. If you're looking to take a great quality 2-channel listening experience and expand it to include movies, this receiver is calling your name. It is excellent for music, but with the added bonus of superb Blu-ray playback. It does all you need to experience excellent Blu-ray playback, and nothing more. And for many "purists" nothing more is desired. I believe Anthem has proven that by investing completely in sound and build quality, they have been able to make one of the best performing A/V receivers on the market above and below it's price." - Peter Loeser

We get lost in the day-to-day of running a business and forget to remind the world of the importance of supporting local merchants. Here are 10 reasons one should shop with you, their local AV integrator." - Heather Sidorowicz

Below are the 10 reasons Heather offers...

Anthem MRX 310 Named 'Best Sounding' Receiver in "The Best Receiver" Roundup

Anthem MRX 310 was named 'best sounding' receiver in "The Best Receiver" roundup! 

"If you’re looking to step up to something that sounds even better (for a lot more money), the $1,200 Anthem MRX 310 is a great choice.

"...Anthem Statement A5 deserves to be right at the top of your short list. Highly Recommended." - Dave Upton of Home Theater Forum

Dave Upton of Home Theater Forum reviewed the Anthem Statement A5 and was very pleased with it's sonic muscle - so much so that he gave is his "Highly Recommended" stamp of approval.

"......amplifiers are the cornerstone of your entire system and once you go with separates, they are an investment you can enjoy for decades if you so choose. It is through that lens that one has to evaluate a product like the Anthem Statement A5. There’s no mistaking Anthem makes high dollar, bulletproof gear no matter what they are building. In the case of the Statement A5, Anthem has delivered a product that while expensive, is worth every penny. For anyone looking for a truly superb all around performer that can go toe to toe with the best two channel digital amps while still functioning as the foundation of a high SPL no-compromise home theater, the Anthem Statement A5 deserves to be right at the top of your short list. Highly Recommended."
