Is A$1,250 a fair price for a used Anthem MRX 720 when your own database shows a median of A$1,126? This listing sits just A$124 above the median and well below the 75th percentile of A$1,203, making it a solid, fair deal rather than a bargain or an overpriced gamble. Given that the MRX 720 originally retailed around A$3,300–A$3,400 (discontinued at US$2,499), paying roughly 36% of original value for a receiver with Anthem’s legendary ARC Genesis room correction and robust 7.2-channel Dolby Atmos support is reasonable for a well-maintained unit.
The MRX 720 remains highly regarded for its seamless integration with Anthem’s AVOI ecosystem, rock-solid build quality, and precise sound calibration that outperforms most competitors in its class. If this listing is from a known original owner with all accessories and no signs of wear, it’s a genuine buying opportunity for anyone upgrading from entry-level receivers or building a serious home theater without paying new-unit prices. No caveats needed at this price unless the condition is questionable.
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.
