Compared with a new midrange AVR at this money, this is the cleaner way into serious home-theater processing, and US$1,000 lands right at the 25th percentile of the recent used market, below the US$1,105 median and comfortably under the US$1,246 75th percentile. That makes it a strong buy rather than merely fair, especially for a processor that still commands real interest from enthusiasts.
The AVM 60 is well regarded for its ARC room correction, balanced outputs, and generally refined sound, so it makes sense as the front end for someone already invested in external amplification. At this price, the main things to confirm are straightforward: working HDMI, current firmware, and that the room-correction calibration and remote/accessories are present, because those are the details that matter more than cosmetics on an older pre/pro.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Anthem traces its roots to the 1990s in Canada, emerging from the acclaimed Sonic Frontiers, a brand celebrated for its no-compromise high-fidelity components crafted by dedicated engineers and audiophiles. In 1998, Paradigm acquired Sonic Frontiers, including Anthem, marking a pivotal shift toward innovative home theater electronics while preserving the pursuit of pure, unadulterated sound. This heritage of passion fused with scientific precision defines Anthem's enduring Canadian legacy.
The brand excels in premium amplification and processing, renowned for AV receivers like the MRX series, high-end processors such as the AVM line, and MCA power amplifiers. These products integrate proprietary technologies, including Anthem Room Correction (ARC), the pioneering room optimization system born from advanced research. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Anthem's focus on electronics delivers reference-level performance tailored for discerning home theater and hi-fi setups.
Anthem holds a commanding position in the high-end market, topping charts as the leading brand for home theater preamps/processors with 30% share and ranking fourth in AV receivers at 31%. Repurchased in 2019 by Paradigm co-founder Scott Bagby and his brother John, restoring original stewardship, Anthem embodies premium Canadian engineering—reliable, innovative, and free of excess—for knowledgeable buyers seeking world-class audio without compromise.
