Overview
The MRX 540-8K is the successor to the best-selling Anthem MRX 520 Home Theater Receiver. The entry-level MRX 540 delivers 100 watts per channel to 5 channels. However, it does have 7 channels of processing with Dolby Atmos so you could add a small power amp to get 5.2.2 or better yet, add the great new Anthem MCA 225 MKII for your main speakers and re-route the front channels to the Atmos height channels.
High Notes
Anthem Room Correction
Your room has a bigger impact on the sound than any component in your system. Anthem's new ARC Genesis is an easy to use room correction system that gives your sound a huge improvement. ARC takes out all the big peaks to let you hear your home theater and music soundtracks the way the engineers intended.
Real Power with Great DAC's
Anthem receivers have a big, full warm sound due to the fact they have massive power amps inside, actually similar to what you might find in some separate amps. They have a drive and control that makes your speakers come to life. Add in the fact they use audiophile level DAC's for all decoding and you have a receiver that sounds just amazing.
Outstanding Flexibility
With 4 speaker and ARC presets for various listening situations, 30 virtual inputs, 15 channels of processing on board with power amp matrixing and discrete dual sub outs, the MRX1140 covers a lot of bases. We love the fact you can rearrange 10 of the 11 built in channels and add a big separate amp for the fronts and get 15 plus two sub channels of great object based surround.
