Impressions of the Anthem AVP 20


I am somewhat disgruntled about Meridian's upgrade path and lack of analogue bypasses, so considering less expensive alternatives like the Anthem processor. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced the Anthem. Thank you.

This is a suber unit. I had the good fortune of hearing it in Anthems factory during the development stages.It allways struck me as a superior piece of equipment.Trust me the build quality and part quality is as good or better than the overpriced over hyped gear from Meridian.
I heard the Meridian gear at a local dealer and at a local show. I dont get what the hype is.Good stuff but at its price point it should be way better.
Go for the Anthem its a fine piece of gear.
I think that the Anthem is a very nice piece for the money. However, i do not think that any of the preamp / processors that i've heard can compete with a good preamp when it comes down to music reproduction. Sean

No one would buy the Anthem if music was the sole intent.
It is a HT Pre AMP. Not intended for music only.
So what is your point SEAN>
