New Anthem AVM 70 and MRX 740 difference in processing

@ dmk_hifi I agree I think the original question is still relevant. My understanding is the AVM will use higher quality internals, most importantly the internal DACs will be much better.  

Now, given that, how much importance should be put on this for height, back, and surround speakers.  For 2 channel - absolutely!   But not sure how much this matters in the real world for other channels.

Some people here think the more you spend the better a product is and you're an idiot for thinking otherwise.

Once again because you continue to not get the point.  It’s got nothing to do with the question you asked. You made uninformed, unsubstantiated, conspiracy theory-like assertions that I didn’t let slide because they’re completely bogus and may wrongfully influence people who may not know better than to dismiss them as the useless and paranoid hogwash that they are.

I said my front speakers are Khorns, the in-ceiling/rear are Episode and Klipsch RP600m (surround) which are MUCH less efficient than the front two.

By your own words, your system is a hodgepodge of disparate speakers. You’re just a victim of your own words here and just refuse to take responsibility for them.

some manufacturers (I believe) use the same internals in their receivers as they do their processors. I don’t know but I would bet that many processors are just the company’s receiver without the amps

Completely unfounded conspiracy BS.

it appears most people cannot tell a difference in the processing quality between the older MRX720 and AVM60.

More completely unfounded BS.

I’ll bet I could go into an HT enthusiasts theater and swap out his $5000 whatever processor for a Marantz receiver with similar outputs and he’d never know the difference.

Just pure ignorance.

Yet again, the problem has nothing to do with your initial valid question but rather the absolute crap you’ve been spewing along with it. I’m simply just calling you out on your own words and you don’t like it. Too bad. Just stop spewing it. You’re not getting the answer here so get off your ass and call Anthem who I’m sure will be more than happy to disabuse you of your paranoid beliefs that they use their cheaper receiver parts in their prepros.

All you're saying is that things I've said are "unfounded ignorant BS"..  Fine, then educated me.  I asked the question to learn and got get solid evidence that there truly is a $1000 (or just some qualified difference) in the two. 

If you read on other forums, you'll find people who do NOT hear a difference. Sure, some people wouldn't hear a difference in a $50 speaker and a $5000 speaker, I get that.

And your best answer is to call the manufacturer? I, in fact, have spoken to Anthem.  The answer is that there are better internals and dacs.  However, I don't just believe that "better" from the manufacturer is always better at all. I knew it had different internals.

AFAIK, you pay for the balanced outputs on the AVM.

Yes, the resale is better, but come on, the 740 is sooooo affordable.

I, in fact, have spoken to Anthem. The answer is that there are better internals and dacs.

Well that’s a very lame response from a manufacturer if they didn’t go into any more detail than that.  I took a look at past Anthem threads and @cbrents73 who works for them has provided more detailed info for other members so maybe he’ll chime in here.  If not maybe you can PM him here and get some answers that way.  It’s pretty sad that even the mass market brands do a better job disclosing their technologies than Anthem, who you’d think would want their potential customers to know why they’re paying up for their stuff.
