So what's the verdict gentlemen? NAD or Anthem for 55/45 music/movies? I'm still torn between them , as much as I love my 720 it's time to upgrade
If it was only that easy, my local dealer has issues getting stock due to Brexit and Covid shi1e and I don't really fancy ordering the NAD online and then going through the hassle of returning it in case I don't love itListen to both...dont listen to people on here..be your own person
Yes, tricky: the advice in the NAD (T 778) thread is to wait for an upcoming hardware fix, so we may as well wait it out for the Anthem reviews...If it was only that easy, my local dealer has issues getting stock due to Brexit and Covid shi1e and I don't really fancy ordering the NAD online and then going through the hassle of returning it in case I don't love it
Is it really that bad ? Or does it affect a small minority of user/user that are super sensitive to certain niggles? My Anthem MRX-720 has been faultless throughout the time I've had it (4 years) although since day one I occasionally have a minor thing with the avr not receiving the signal correctly when changing sources , usually I just have to switch it on and off and it's fine... I'm not bothered but I know some people would send it away first time it happened...There’s no way I’d buy the NAD, the fact my dealer dropped it and won’t sell it anymore says it all. Imagine the pain a product must have caused you as a dealer that you’d rather sell nothing than that product. So I don’t care how good it sounds, no thanks.

I think that blank means it's avalible but this is defenatly one of the worst rollouts that I've seen for a product/line."End of January" availability has been taken off the Anthem website and replaced with "End of February for the 540..... and 'nothing' with a blank for the 740 and 1140!
Yes, agreed. 740s and 1140s must have started shipping. It certainly would make commercial sense to fulfill the top end orders first!I think that blank means it's avalible but this is defenatly one of the worst rollouts that I've seen for a product/line.
Covid or no covid, this doesn't make me feel good about switching to Anthem.
I also had the anthem D2v3d and 710 and 720. hopefully the new 740 sounds better than the last ones.I had the 758v3 with dirac. Its not an argument its just my opinion. Before that i had one of the first mrx300 which i had for years.
You should definitely try and listen to both to decide for yourself. For me I preferred the nad t778 to the anthem 720. Especially for Music. Hopefully the anthem 740 will be better. I would still like to try one. I am not a fanboy of any. I only take what's best for me.So what's the verdict gentlemen? NAD or Anthem for 55/45 music/movies?

A delayed launch due to a suppliers factory fire and global pandemic is no reflection on the quality of the product.I think that blank means it's avalible but this is defenatly one of the worst rollouts that I've seen for a product/line.

That was kind of my point, we are in unprecedented times and given the factors, it is good we will have at least some stock for some customers who committed early. For those who the delay will directly effect, we will have a solution should they wish to wait.A delayed launch due to a suppliers factory fire and global pandemic is no reflection on the quality of the product.
So you're telling me that a fire that accrued in late October hindered the December roll-out of the initial AVR's/Proceccors line? Sorry, I'm not buying it.A delayed launch due to a suppliers factory fire and global pandemic is no reflection on the quality of the product.
Source, please?USA users are reporting ARC is not functional in the current firmware so the delay may not be such a bad thing.
People on AVS Forum are talking about it in the AVM 70/90 thread.Source, please?
Found it, thanks. Some interesting initial findings: astonishing that ARC is not functional.People on AVS Forum are talking about it in the AVM 70/90 thread.
