Sadly, the Anthem AVM 90 preamp is delayed till late 2021.

I only have the Anthem AVR, but what is wrong with their current processor?  I think the 520 AVR is very good in 2 channel

I would love to know how it compares to the Anthem str preamp. Just how good is the stereo performance? It's not a 100% apples to apples comparison, but it's a newer piece and $7k price, I hope that would bring some performance.  I want to get rid of extra boxes if I can with the AVM 90.

Is the 90 close to the str? Have to wait longer to find out now.

How about the new HT receivers though?  In my set up with 3 Class D monoblocks the receivers would eliminate a lot of cables and equipment.
