Anthem's new MRX-1140 is a mighty machine capable of creating a massive soundstage with huge dynamic swings. Coupled with ARC Genesis, it produces seamless soundscapes with excellent channel steering and defined yet powerful bass. Anthem's current generation ARC Genesis has proven just as capable and easily stands up to its Dirac Live competition.
The Anthem MRX 1140 is a suave and sophisticated AV receiver that’s capable of creating an immense 11-channel soundstage thanks to powerful amplification that’s very responsive and seriously dynamic. When combined with ARC Genesis room correction the result is a cohesive soundscape with seamless channel steering and well-defined but incredibly deep bass. All of this results in a highly engaging and compellingly cinematic sonic experience, and makes the MRX 1140 the best AV receiver you’ve probably never have heard of but really need to check out.
