Hi Team,
(please let me know if i shouldn’t be posting this here)
I notice the Anthem community on this forum is very active and well supported in Singapore as opposed to the Arcam one. I’ve been contemplating between these 2 AVRs purely because I’ve heard them both and they both sound great for 2 Channel music (in addition to the home theater experience). Would love to hear anyone’s views here on whether they went through the same Anthem vs Arcam contemplation in Singapore.
there are a lot of forums worldwide but locally it’s a bit more nuanced. the Anthem looks easier to setup and more support here perhaps ? 
Arcam has a 1 year warranty with the local distributor as opposed to the global 5 year warranty they offer (Anthem is 2 years locally). the e77 - anthem distributor also offers the installer come home and calibrate the AVR within the price. Am looking at the Anthem MRX 540 or MRX 740 or Arcam AVR5 t.
I’ll add a power amp later if required when i upgrade my LR fronts from the current Monitor Audio Gold 50 (4G) to Sonus Faber Sonetto VIIIs.
My current setup is a 5.1 with an upgrade to 5.1.2 down the road. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks and happy weekend
