Anthem audio have launched some new Home Theatre Receivers that will also provide pass through for 3D movies and television when paired with a 3DTV and a 3D capable source component, making them a stalwart in 3D-enabled home theatres. The MRX series consists of the 300, 500, 700. They all contain the company’s Anthem Room Correction technology which will supply viewers with the most recent HD formats. The MRX series is able to support Dolby ProLogic IIz, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. All models in the series have pretty cool designs that look high-tech, modern and sleek.
Featured here is the Anthem MRX-300. You may ask though what makes Anthem MRX Receivers worth serious consideration when there is so much consumer choice?
Impassioned audiophiles who prefer separation between amplifier and preamplifier/processor still have that option with Anthem Reference products, while the new MRX receivers deliver the convenience and value of a single component.
Trigger output and second zone functionality along with video configuration memorized by source adds further value to the Anthem receiver line. What else is there on offer?
