At US$2,399, this used Anthem MRX 1120 is fair to slightly ambitious compared to the typical used market, which clusters near a median of US$1,659 with a recent range of US$1,499–US$1,659, though a recent eBay listing for a bundle hit US$999. The asking price sits above the 75th percentile of recent sales, suggesting the seller may be banking on the unit’s original-owner condition or included cables/accessories to justify the premium over the US$1,500–US$1,700 sweet spot.
The MRX 1120 remains a top-tier flagship for its 11 channels of built-in amplification (5×140W + 6×60W), ARC 2 room correction, and native Dolby Atmos support, making it ideal for a full 7.1.4 setup without external amps. Its 11.2-channel pre-outs and robust HDMI 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 matrix add long-term value, and if this listing includes the calibrated mic, stands, and cables, it offsets the higher price by saving the buyer a separate accessory hunt. Treat it as a solid buy if the condition is truly mint and accessories are complete.

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.
