Anthem MRX 1140 Review

Their new top of the series model, the Anthem MRX 1140 Audio Visual Receiver, has a list of features and specs appropriate for a flagship model. With 14.2 channel pre-amplifier outputs and 140 watts per channel, this receiver may undoubtedly sound better than even the most daring home theatre setups. However, it also features cutting-edge surround processing, including IMAX Enhanced, DTS:X Pro, and of course Dolby Atmos, as well as on-board patented technology like ARC Genesis room correction for the best audio in any space.

One of the most searched AV items on the market right now is without a doubt the Anthem MRX 1140. It has the same subtle good aesthetics as the rest of the most recent Anthem range, an incredible number of functions, endless connections, and a price that is exactly right. Let’s start with some of the largest numbers: It has a total of 15.2 channel preamplifier outputs available through RCA, 140 watts of Class AB amplification across the 5 main channels, and an additional 60 watts of Class D amplification powering the remaining 6 surround and Dolby Atmos channels.

Design

The MRX 1140 has been updated, and now includes a high-resolution front panel display, Anthem’s “next generation multi-core DSP,” and an entirely new electronics platform that supports the previously mentioned 15.2 channels, HDMI 2.0b, and HDCP 2.2. A new networking platform with web-based setup and wireless upgrades is also available. Owners may quickly access any feature or configuration and make adjustments on the fly using a phone, tablet, or laptop.

Regarding the new range, Anthem had the following to say. “With careful consideration of the features and capabilities that enthusiasts desire and need, each line up has been updated. The most powerful component of any home theatre or media room, the new releases are the result of study and lessons learned over the last five years.” John Bagby, Managing Director of Anthem’s parent firm, Paradigm Electronics Inc.

Sound Quality

Music lovers and home theatre enthusiasts have sought Anthem’s premium audio visual receivers ever since the release of the AVM 50 and Statement D2 A/V. The Anthem is the ultimate control centre for any high-end home theatre or media room thanks to its industry-leading room correction, professional management of the newest audio formats, and robust integration. Anthem’s new “flagship” AVR, the MRX 1140, offers everything you could want and maybe much more. It symbolises Anthem’s goal for audio visual excellence with enhanced audio circuitry, two independent subwoofer outputs, and a 32-bit AKM AK4458VN DAC with 768kHz sampling capacity.

With the addition of built-in streaming support for Apple AirPlay2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect (coming soon), and Roon, object-oriented audio codecs have been improved to handle up to 15.2 channels (coming soon). Seven HDMI 2.0 inputs and two outputs are available for video support, and eARC is also included for easy smart TV interaction. Your visual media will be presented in the best possible way thanks to flawless passthrough of Ultra HD signals at up to 18.2 Gbps with Dolby Vision, HDR, or Hybrid Log Gamma.

Conclusions

The new MRX-1140 from Anthem is a powerful system that can build a large soundstage with enormous dynamic swings. It creates seamless soundscapes with superb channel steering and distinct yet potent bass when used in conjunction with ARC Genesis. Current-generation ARC Genesis from Anthem has proven to be just as capable and can easily compete with Dirac Live.

In terms of look, adaptability, and features, the MRX-1140 clearly improves upon its predecessor. More significantly, it offers a more refined sound quality, with better imaging and perhaps more power than its predecessor where it counts. It surpasses its current pricing rivals and provides a more exciting and dramatic viewing experience. I’d even venture to say that it competes favourably with some of the more expensive AV Receivers now on the market.
