I think the Denon 5700 was really the piece that made headlines. It was unique and the first receiver to carry high end internal components (Burr Brown DAC). It paved the way for the current 5800 line. The 5600 was no slouch either, Denon started making headway with this unit, but the 5700 was...

Does anyone actually own this beast? Right now, this is as state of the art as it gets and I don't see any unit surpassing this one for at least a couple of years. They may match it in features but definitely will not be surpassed in processing power and the quality of processors, DAC's etc...

No DPLIIx yet, but here's what Anthem told me recently: "A D1 with PLIIx is at Dolby waiting for approval, just a matter of time before they give the go-ahead. Sorry, we have no knowledge or control of when that may be." Hopefully, SOON!!!!!!!!!

Just got my D1 :) I set this up in an hour or so as it's basically identical in every respect to the AVM20........this is excellent because you don't need to waste time learing a whole new setup. The sound is extremely clean and tight. Louder volumes seem smoother and the detail is simply...

Levesque......nice shot of your D1. It seems like the rear right foot is missing cause it's slanted a bit in the picture. I'm sure it's not and I'm just teasing nonetheless. Congrats and let us know how it sounds and operates. I'm drooling......the suspense is killing me. Enjoy your weekend...

How did Anthem let an AVM30 ship with AVM20 software? I hope, with the current high demand for these new PREAMPS, that Anthem is not letting quality control slip. On the question side, does the AVM30 and/or D1 allow for one component connection that converts S-VIDEO or COMPOSITE to...

Is Chris Johnson, I believe that's his name, still the guy who is going to provide mod's for the AVM30? If so, what do you think will be mod'd? Isn't the D1 already a mod'd AVM30 seeing as, in specs/theory, it already has better components? Why would you not go with a D1 if you're just buying an...

Our AVM20 vs the Mark Levinson No. 40........NOT BAD as per the reviewer....see below link. http://www.guidetohometheater.com/su...rocessors/139/ Comparisons Since I was fresh out of competing $30,000 processors, I went in the opposite direction—to an excellent processor (the Anthem AVM...

I posted this on the AVS Forum so I thought I'd post this here to since it all applies to Anthem's PREAMPS. Here are some questions that SF answered for me.....I thought they might be of use to others that have similar concerns: ***** Where can we get the latest software for the unit in...

D1 ... when ... so much talk and nothing??? FIREWIRE ... when ... will it even happen??? DPLIIX ... when ... they need to move on this as Rotel and Denon and others are already offering this including HDMI. Anthem's been very good at dealing with our minor bugs but where are the BIG...

WOW....all this time with my AVM20 and I did not even realize there is a POWER button on the front of it. I will check this out tonight. Michael, yes, it seems that this normally happens whenever there is a power outage. The first time that it happened, there was definitely an earlier power...

I have had something happen twice, weeks apart, now with my AVM20 and I am wondering if anybody has experienced it. I go to turn it on and nothing. I then turn the power switch off on the back of the unit, unplug the power cable and let it sit for a minute or two. Plug it back in and turn the...

Here's what SF had to say....about 2.12 and basically no upgrade program to the D1 when released. It figures I would have a Pioneer DVD player. "Attached is v2.12 pre-release which needs one more fix - with Pioneer and certain Denon DVD player models, minor pop from front channels when EX is...

Is 2.12 available from SF? They sent me 2.11k about two weeks ago which I loaded and it appears to be working fine. Is 2.12 available from SF?

Here, here to Bryston. About a year ago, I switched the Anthem MCA 50 and MCA 20 to new Bryston 6B SST and 4B SST and the full 7.1 combination is head and shoulders above the MCA's. The combination of the AVM 20 and Bryston's is excellent to my ears. Congrats on the Bryston's Daniel and Jeff...

If the AVM20 is upgradeable to Firewire, DTS 96/24 and DPLIIx, why would we want this other piece? Obviously, I can't make this decision until I hear it but it does not appear that the AVM20 would have significant shortcomings over the Statement. Regardless, it would be nice for the customers...

There appears to be numerous bugs with V 2.10. Does anybody have a list of these bugs and can we expect SF to address them with 2.11?

JimmyK and Michael, Yes, I noticed that the POP is back. However, it's back only when I go to a specific scene for the first time. Once I insert the disc, and then select a scene to jump to, it starts with the POP in the left surround speaker. Oddly, however, the POP is no longer evident upon...

DPLIIx, just what we need and don't have. IEE1394 is also the other biggie. I wonder if Anthem will bring it on with the AVM20 or have we reached the pinnacle point for this preamp? With regards to memory, can Anthem drop some other formats to allow for DPLIIx. If they removed Anthem...

Hi Michael, Yes, resetting the unit worked for me. This is really awesome...thanks a lot. Sorry it took me a while but I got caught up with being very busy at work and life in general. Thanks again for your help and suggestion. I am glad it works for others as well. And yes, the unit does...

Since going to 2.10, I notice a pop/spark type noise on my left surround speaker only. It always happens upon the DVD detecting the DD or DTS track. Is anybody experiencing a similar phenomenon. It's really odd as it's always that speaker. It does it the instant a signal (DD or DTS) is detected...

Thanks everybody. I just got my newly printed manual "spiral covered" at Kinko's. I will definitely take the time to read it seeing as so much has changed. This is an incredibe software update...truly amazing.

Thanks Wayne_T....that worked. I really need to familiarize myself with the new manual so I can avoid asking silly questions.

Here is how my flash update goes: It goes through all the steps okay. At the very last step, it reads at the bottom: "EE Programming Done. Programming Flash. Please Wait" The progress bar is all the way to the end, as if it's done, but it never goes to complete. After several...

Hi. I just installed 2.10. It took me two tries as the initial install just hung when it was 99% done. The progress bar was at the very end when it just stayed on "Flashing EEPROM etc." or whatever that very last message is. I redid the process and it completed okay; albeit, it did not go...

SOUND, SOUND, SOUND I've sank 80% of my HT into sound. I do like a good picture, as well, so I am happy with my current widescreen RPTV. Here's my order of what components fascinate me most when it comes to HT...what's yours: PREAMPS RECEIVERS AMPLIFIERS SPEAKERS SUBWOOFERS DVD...

I don't think they sound alike. I just went from Anthem MCA 50 and Anthem MCA 20 AMPS to a Bryston 6B SST and 9B SST THX (four channel). For me, the difference in sound quality is quite obvious. There is more impact and refinement to the sound. Higher volumes take on a smoother delivery...

Uuuh No!! Tag is not better. The consumer, professional and Hollywood consensus rates PREAMPS as follows: AVM20 Theta Casablanca Lexicon MC-12 Integra Research RDC-7 The rest are out of gas trying to keep up. And the OSCAR goes to ... the Anthem AVM20 :)

Silver Anthem AVM20 rules them all!!! It's the one I have and it makes movies RIVETING!!! To sound CLICHE and to sound the way WE ALL sound, including magazine reviews: "I was blown away" "I'm hearing things that I did not hear before" "Movies and music take on a whole new...
