Another Anthem fan here. I'm on my 2nd 2 ch integrated and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else?
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience comparing Emotiva to Anthem?
I am about to buy a new system for the livingroom that we are building over here. This system in this space will be tasked with driving a 5.2.4 home theater system for TV and Movies but it will also need to provide excellent sound quality for listening to music. The sound quality for the music is a top priority. The source material for this system will be Netflicks and Apple TV for the video content and Amazon HD Music for the Music.
I am considering either the Emotiva RMC-1L processor and XPA9 Gen3 Amp combo or the Anthem MRX 1140 8K. The Emotiva combo is a bit more expensive and would also require a network streamer for Amazon HD Music which will be a bit more $$.
What is considered to have the better sound quality between these two options?
Is there something else that I should be looking at?

I pulled the trigger on a Yamaha 2080 to take care of the home theater duties. Still need to pick the integrated amp to do the two channel work. I’m now considering either the Yamaha A-S2200 or the Rotel 1592 mkii. I’m looking for an amp that will create a wide sound stage but also have lots of detail. A few of the Yamaha reviews I’ve seen/read seem to indicate that the 2200 sound stage isn’t so great but that it’s got a lot of detail. Also, it’s just an amp, (no DAC) and I like that because I plan to use a dedicated DAC for two channel. It’s also much better looking than the Rotel. Any thoughts on the comparison of those two? |
This Hegel H190 has both excellent detail and soundstage so might be worth a look… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649941652-hegel-h190/ That said, I don’t think you can go wrong with the Yammy either. |
