Anthem’s MRX 740 is the sweet spot in their lineup, delivering top-tier ARC Genesis room correction and 140W/ch power with 7.2-channel amplification and 11.2 pre-outs. At US$2,199, this listing is a strong bargain: the original MSRP was US$2,899 (later updated to US$3,099 for the 8K version), and typical used prices for this model sit around US$2,400–US$2,700, making this price well below the 25th percentile.
This is a compelling buy for anyone wanting high-end processing without the flagship cost. The MRX 740 excels in immersive formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and its Class A/B amplification delivers dynamic, clean sound. The included cables and accessories add immediate value, and if the unit is in original-owner condition with no repairs, it’s a clean opportunity to grab a beloved, discontinued model at a genuine discount.
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.
