Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system
I currently have an Anthem 1120 receiver that I am planning to replace. I currently use a Moon Sim 330 A amp with the 1120. I have a 9 speaker home theater system with two subs, so I will need to power 9 speakers. I hate to sell my Moon Sim amp but I think I am better off with two 5 channel amps. I am seriously thinking of buying two Gen 2 Anthem 525 channel amps but not sure if the Anthem will be a downgrade from my Moon Sim 330 A
Thanks
Hi OP, My suggestion, which you’ll have to double check is feasible, is to keep your moon and upgrade to the MRX 720. I believe (and you need to double check) that all 7 channels are re-assignable. Which may mean you can use them all for the non main (L/R) channels. Looking at section 5.1 of the MRX 720 manual, under "Amp Matrixing" this should be possible. https://manuals.anthemav.com/mrx-avm/en/103 Best,

@maxwave Great suggestion, I had not thought about the MC MC8207. I thought it would be best to have the front three the same but I really would rather keep my Sim. Thanks |
@hoosierinohio When I listen to music I am only using the Moon Sim 330A with L-R and no center and no ceiling speakers. The reality is that everything is good but I am a gear head and always thinking about making it better. I hate to lose money selling the Sim as it was expensive and a nice amp |
