Hi all,
This is contentious I know but:
I’ve gone from and Anthem 310-510-720 and have had my current 720 since 2018.
About two years ago, HDMI 5 and 6 inputs have had issues with revceiving a 4k signal. Further, in the last few months, I have had issues with it not turning on.
I sent it off to Anthem's UK repair agent, to be told that the board needed replacing. Paid £500 for.
Having just received it back: guess what - HDMI 5 only receives an HD signal (and no sound), now HDMI 6 is fine however HDMI 7 now only receives HD, not 4k.
Whilst it was away, I had a two week trial of a Denon 4700 and honestly: I would say the sound quality was on a par.
I can’t help feeling that Anthem are overrated for what you get. Honestly? I’d like to sell it and go to Denon, but of course I can’t do that whilst it’s not working as it should (all other inputs are fine).
Wondering if I allowed myself to get caught up in the Anthem hype!
