Anthem MRX 300 Receiver First look

Anthem MRX 300

This receiver is an excellent example of value for dollar and should be part of anybody's HT setup for those looking to upgrade their system. It's by far the best receiver I've owned to date. I recently replaced my old NAD T752 which I've owned since...
