At US$1,499, this used Anthem MRX 1120 is a strong bargain compared to its original US$3,499 MSRP and typical used listings that hover near US$1,999–US$2,200. The asking price sits well below the 25th percentile of the secondary market, making it an exceptional value for an 11.2-channel flagship AVR that still delivers 140W to the front five channels and supports Dolby Atmos with Anthem’s acclaimed ARC 2 room correction.
This receiver remains a top-tier buy for enthusiasts wanting a single-box 7.1.4 or 7.2.4 system without external amps, praised for its robust amplification, precise bass management, and seamless integration with high-end speakers. The included calibrated mic, remote, and Wi-Fi antennas add practical upside, and at this price, even minor age-related wear is outweighed by the sheer performance per dollar—this is a clear buying opportunity for anyone serious about immersive home theater.

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.
