Any news or sightings at CES of the Anthem receiver(s) that was mentioned at CEDIA?

I will post my D2v solution vs these same files processed for the MRX and people will be able to see the difference.

MRX 300/500/700 DSP has around the same amount of number crunching ability as anything in the price range, which is around half as much as AVM/D prepros using ARC (and PBK for that matter), which have as much as pro systems in the five figures. This means that MRX 300/500/700 corrected response usually does not meet target response as closely as AVM/D, thought it's also usually not too far off.
The other difference is that correction range not only defaults to 5 kHz but cannot be made to go higher. Correction above 5 kHz is not normally recommended regardless.
Another difference not dependent on ARC is that MRX DSP uses crossover frequencies of 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150 whereas AVM/D allows 25-160 in 5 Hz steps. It relates because ARC selects the crossover frequencies based on in-room measured response.
The practical difference depends on the amount of correction the room speaker/combo needs, and this varies greatly. MRX-ARC still improves things regardless, using the same principles as the other ARC.

I'm really interested in the MRX 700, but I think the lack of Mac software for ARC might keep me away. We only have Macs, which means if I want to run ARC, I would have to buy and run Windows and Parallels or Bootcamp (which I'm not going to do since I don't want to muck up my hard drive with that), or buy a used laptop just to run ARC, which will add substantial cost to the receiver. Not really worth it.

You need to do a print screen. In windows this is the alt key and the print screen key to copy to the pasteboard. then open paint and copy it in. Save that file as a jpg and upload to the forum.

Have any of U guys used the usb to serial adapters from MonoPrice? 45$ seems like quite a bit for the Tripplite?

The four possibilities including "I already have something and don't want to pay for another" is the other reason we left this to the user despite how convenient it would have been otherwise. Adapters are the lowest common denominator but some people prefer the other choices.

Some quick observations on the comparison of the MRX 500 and the Denon 4310.
1. Wider sound stage
2 More 3d sound stage
3. Better bass response
4. More detail
This was observed by both me and my friend using the MRX with his 7.1 system. We listened to his with Audyssey and the MRX without ARC. He preferred the MRX for music as he doesn't even use Audyssey for music, with his Denon. I agreed after listening to his denon. The music sounded muffled and lacked detail. Didn't have time to test with ARC. Coming at a later time.

Hello Jayray,
When you use the MRX without ARC, is there any audio processing going on or is it just a pass through? What type of audio were you feeding it, SACD,DVD audio.....?

GlenQNYC - My normal contact was not there today and one of the other people were getting reau to put it on display since they did not know it was preordered for me. I just happened to call because I had a gut feeling. Good thing I made the call.
HeffeMusic - Replacing an Integra DTR 8.9. I was never a fan of this receiver but couldn't beat the price at the time. I will be running Studio 100s, a 690 center, two a 590 rears, and a seismic 10 sub.
Just change the title of this one. |
