    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Did you guys know that fraternity brothers across the country haze prospective pledges by forcing them to read this entire thread beginning with post #1. It's true:D

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Brian, I used an MCA-5 (the predecessor to the MCA-50) with my AVM for a while and was happy with it. I guess it depends on the speakers you use, as I was happier with certain combinations over others.

    It's close, it's very close. Beta testing is beginning for 2.10....time to start another thread?

    Randy, funny thing was that the mid-level processor award winner (Krell Showcase) was only $900 more expensive. I thought that entry level was a poor choice of words by HT. They should have given an award entitled "best value" or something like that, because I don't think any of us view the...

    Does anyone know how close (far) we are from 2.10?

    Paul, either fuse can blow. The other (good) fuse is the 1A main fuse. The one you blew is the 315MA fuse. You can get replacements for those at Radio Shack as well. Replace that one and you should be good to go.

    Paul, one way you can tell if it's the 1A main fuse is if the display (very, very faintly) reads Anthem AVM-20, but so lightly that you can barely see it. If that's the case, you have blown the fuse. Take it from the fuse expert! It's a simple fix, trust me.

    Neil, congratulations! Some of us on this thread can also be an emotional bunch and are stern defenders of both the product and company (now who could I be referring to;)?). Anyway, I knew Sonic Frontiers would come through for you and glad to hear you are getting what you paid for, finally.

    Jerry, that is a very poor analogy. First of all, in your example every Vikings fan would be watching THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT, so one's OPINION could easily differ from one another. Neil's thread title is this... "Anthem AV20 2.9 Has bug's*Caution" Well guess what? My Anthem AVM20 version...

    Neil, I respect your frustration with your "buggy" unit and venting on this thread is both respected and encouraged. We are only here to help. With that being said, and like I posted on AVS, to create a thread saying "Beware! AVM-20 V2.09 is BUGGY!" is both irresponsible and slanderous. There...

    Ron, I have my bass peak level set at 0db. What I do is adjust the gain on my sub to integrate with my main speakers instead of doing it internal to the Anthem. I think rock solid bass should be felt and not heard specifically. I would think that at loud volumes, distorted bass would be that...

    For those who want an update on my situation.... I stripped my system down and unconnected everything, rebooted the factory defaults and hooked everything back up. I either experienced the biggest break in of an amp in history, or I had a bad connection in the chain somewhere...

    Thanks Michael... In doing troubleshooting testing, I know it's not the cable or the amp. I hooked the same cable directly from source to amp and the sound was wonderful, full, clear, direct. It could be that the RCA isn't seated correctly, but I have disconnected and reconnected the same...

    Man, I think I have a problem with my AVM-20:frowning: I recently sold my Anthem MCA-5 amp to get better two channel performance. I originally ran the MCA with RCA connectors with no problem, and then switched 7 months ago to balanced connections and again, perfect results. I'm still...

    Prath.... I absolutely dispise the Carolina Hurricanes. Simply because of their owner, Peter Karmanos, who ripped the team out of Hartford. If he was to ever sell the team, I might root for them, but right now my favorite NHL team is whomever is playing Carolina. To be honest with you...

    At this point, unless his dealer is trying to pull a fast one on him and give him a refurb and pass it off as new, there is no way he would be getting a unit with the old board inside. Then again, I've seen crazier things in my day.

    Ed, you don't have to ask for a specific serial number. Just ask your dealer to make sure it's installed with the latest software when you pick it up...which would be version 2.09. If, for some chance, it's NOT version 2.09, a software download off the net is very easy with a serial cable and...

    My suggestion would be after you do the reset like Michael has described, to install software version 2.09 off the SF website. It corrects a lot of the bugs that were discovered along the path down 2.0x.

    Michael, Yes and no. I planned the trip because I am a big hockey fan and we obviously have no more hockey here in Hartford. I had never been to Toronto before and heard the city was fantastic (it is!!!). I was able to catch two Maple Leaf games while I was up there and see a great...

    Wolfgang, If you plan to run all small speakers for a significant amount of time, then the PVA7 should suit you just fine. If you plan to upgrade to more difficult speakers to drive (either floorstanders that need more power or speakers that dip down to low ohms) then you may want to look for...
