At US$1,799, this used Anthem MRX720 is a strong deal, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly US$610 to US$1,285 (converted from C$1,285) and far under its original US$2,499 price. While one eBay listing shows US$609.99 for a bare unit, that price reflects a stripped configuration with no cables or accessories, whereas this listing includes cables and accessories, making US$1,799 a fair-to-great value for a complete, ready-to-run package rather than a bare receiver.
The MRX720 remains well-regarded for its potent Anthem Room Correction (ARC) system, robust Class AB power (140W x 5), and full Dolby Atmos/DTS:X support with high-quality AKM DACs. Its inclusion of cables and accessories adds meaningful upside, sparing buyers the hassle and cost of sourcing compatible HDMI and speaker wires. With no noted failure points specific to this model at this price and a clean, complete listing, it represents a solid buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking high-end AVR performance without the new-unit markup.

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.
