three new anthem receivers

Anthem has taken many of the elements of their higher cost range of separates and brought them to the affordable level of three new receivers.

These receivers have all the amenities you would expect in a modern receiver, 4 HDMI inputs, Dolby Tru-HD, DTS-HD Master Audio, two zone control, upconverting video circuitry and customizeable inputs. What you would not expect is the inclusion of Anthem's ARC room correction system.

We install these receivers and run a series of measurements on our computer. When the process is done the computations are compiled and downloaded to the receiver. The process is much more advanced than the typical auto-setup audio systems used in most receivers. More info >>

These three models range from just $999 to $1999 and offer class leading sound and visuals.

Rega DAC

The minds at Rega have been at it again. Sure, there are plenty of decent DAC's on the market, but Rega would never settle for decent. They made a World Class device and priced it like an average one. With a flexible array of inputs including USB, Spdif coaxial and toslink optical you can feed it anything from 16/44 to 24/192. Beats anything we have heard at twice the price! Now selling for $999.
