Anthem has always been known for making very high end audio/video gear along with their twin Paradigm speaker line, and this pre-processor is no different. Video processing duties are handled by Gennum VXP Digital Image Processor that provides truly broadcast quality image processing. On the audio side, theres the usual bullet proof D/A @ full 24-bit x 192 kHz resolution along with 2-channel balanced inputs, and 7.2 channel balanced outs (capable of 2 zones).
I have an audiophile set up rather than a full on HT, and even then the accoustics of the house aren't very good to begin with. Here's the current rig:
Speakers (5.2):
RBH 1266SE/R (front tower; pair)
RBH 661 SE/R (center)
RBH 66 SE/R (surround; pair)
Axiom EP500 (subs; pair)
Amp: Parasound 5250 (5 channel amp, 250w per channel @ 8ohms)
Pre-Processor: Anthem AVM 50
Transports:
Denon 2910 (CD, DVD, DVD-Audio, SACD; HDMI to AVM 50)
Sonos (mp3; coax audio connection to AVM 50)
PS3 (HDMI to AVM 50)
Western Digital Media Player (HDMI to TV; coax audio connection to AVM 50)
Cable box (HDMI to TV; coax audio connection to AVM 50)
TV: 65" Panny plasma
The last two transports hook up to the TV directly via HDMI so that we can watch TV/movies without the whole set up on.
In its current set up, this rig is an audiophile dream.
