Amazing value

My mrx 740 is the heartbeat of my system. It makes my speakers sing! The amplification from the internal power amp is clean and powerful. Its processing of dts & Dolby atmos is simply amazing. It is plug and play and the ARC room correction is very easy to use. I use 9 channels through this amp (7 through the internal power amp & 2 through the preamp outs) and it handles complicated sound mixes with aplomb. Having the 2x subwoofer outs is very handy for my system as well. The price tag is definitely higher than other av receivers out there, but for me the quality and the precision of its decoding makes this easily the best value receiver I have seen. If you are looking for a new av receiver and have the budget, you will not regret getting this machine.

Home Theater plus audiophile stereo

Amazing unit. Finally you can do your stereo listening and your home theatre with one system. Use the MRX as a preamp and incorporate your audiophile main speakers into your home theater system without sacrificing audio quality. Most AVRs suffer from poor 2 channel performance. Not the MRX, it's as good as any 2 channel preamp or integrated I've tried. Home Theater performance? jaw dropping. My previous ex flagship Yamaha DSP A1 was fantastic but the MRX leaves it for dead. Dialogue, music, effects, bass, features, customization, interfacing , everything is better and by a significant margin. Straight out of the box it was great but after taking 10mins to setup the Anthem Room Correct....wow, it took itself to another level. The surround levels were perfect, the bass was huge, the imaging was clearer, the detail sharper. It really tailored the sound to my room and dialed everything perfect. The web Browser interface is super easy and quick to use and full with options to keep tweeking. You can customize all your channels and settings. Overall, it's a great, versatile peice of gear that's let's you have a great HT and stereo setup. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and is very functional. Only downside would be the DAC isn't as good a expensive separate DACs and the built in streaming connectivity is not as refined as it could be. It can easily turn itself to full volume by mistake. Isn't Roon Ready yet but I imagine these small issues will be improved with firmware updates and you will have a formidable all in one box audiophile peice of kit. Take the next step to this level of AVR and you won't be disappointed, fantastic unit. Enjoy.
