Well we will see, I already ordered it. I still got my marantz 7013, that suckers going into the living room to replace my old onkyo.
I contacted them to ask for return policy just in case I do not get that extra immersion I desire, because it seems like what everyone said is out of the box with room calibration the AVM provides the best experience in home theater. Not sure if that's just reviewers trying to create hype or not, but at 3000 it's not bad and I do not need 4k/120.
Still my only concern is what the RCA outputs are doing. Not sure why Amir didn't measure that or maybe you guys know what the expected sinad would be just based off of those XLR measurements.
The only unfortunate news is that I only use 7 channels so this is beyond overkill and probably dumb. However, the 3700 seemed risky with the new dac and the 6700 is the same price and 8500 is even more. In addition I do not know what dacs those guys had originally when they were reviewed and if they changed too. So I am just considering this a way out with some level of future proofing
Fwiw, this is going to be likely much much more once you add amplification. I’m sure you knew that already, but it’s kinda unfair to compare this to the 6700 at the same price, because you’re lacking amps.
After 7 channels of amplification, you’re at or over the price of the 8500, (assuming something like monoprice 7x200 which is roughly $1800), but I’d still personally take the anthem over the denon. But that’s probably my bias because I have an AVM70 8k with monolith m8250x.
