Anthem MCA5

I have a Denon 3300 and am not happy with the sound. I'm thinking about moving up to a real amp for Home Theater and my dealer wants me to take a look at the Anthem. The price seems right, I could use the Denon as a preamp until I could afford something better. I like to ask around before I even bring it home for a test weekend. Thanks for any advice.

Just be prepared for slower service if you ever need it. They are in Canada and we have never had anything turned around in less than a month or so.

Another amp you may want to look at is the Adcom GFA7500, around same price, but is THX certified, etc. sweet.

I also considered the Anthems but ended up buying an Audio Refinement Multi series because of the dealer's suggestion - yes, he sells the Anthems also.

Angela100 and Danish,
Sorry to go off-track w/ the topic of the thread...May I ask which A/V receiver/surround pre/pro are you using with the Adcom/Audio Refinement? To Danish - have you auditioned the Audio Refinement Pre-5?

The Anthem by far is your best choice.Any new software upgrades are downloadable.You dont have to send the unit back.All the R&D is from Sonic Frontiers who have Class A Equipment year after year.
