These new products put Anthem on par with many of their competitors with respect to features and # of supported channels but with the beloved Anthem ARC Genesis room correction system and slick new web interface that let's you operate every function of the product even if it's in another room. What we really dig is the multiple independent subwoofer outputs, something we've been asking from them for years. Check these products out and let us know what you think.

AcuDefTechGuy Audioholic Jedi Jul 10, 2007 34,056 0 113 Oct 30, 2020 #11 $3500 isn’t bad for a 7.2.6 (15CH?) Anthem AVP. The Marantz AV7706 is 7.2.4 (street price probably $1900). The Yamaha CX-A5200 is 7.2.4 (street price probably $1900). But the AVM 70 is 7.2.6 for those who gotta have 6 Atmos ceiling speakers.

JimmyTango Audioholic Intern Mar 19, 2009 33 0 6 Oct 31, 2020 #13 Simply not enough to force me to upgrade from my 720. I also wonder how much of the new features could be added to the X20 series via firmware, like the new web GUI. Looks fantastic, though.

The Panasonic chipset had serious hardware bugs. Yamaha Denon and Marantz were all bit by it and may have to be recalled to fix.

Anthem doesn't count the subs as separate channels. If you do, then the AVM70 is a 17-channel processor, and the AVM90 is a 19-channel processor. I love my AVM60, and I want to support them with a purchase, but in a 13x19 room, I'm not sure front wides and top middles are worth it. Reactions: afelcandy
