New EQ, chipset and tech will most likely warrant a a much better improvement over the 7009.

thats also what i believe.
today got news from China, 70/90 will be released in Jan in China, with HDMI2.1 hardware in place, 8k upgrade through firmware later…
heard someone has pre-ordered 70 in singapore, around S$6k.
Are you upgrading to the anthem ?
I read some good reviews on monolith 16 channel processor. Allows for BEQ as well
One stop solution
not yet decided. HTP-1 can support BEQ, it’s offically in the list of DSP/Prepro in BEQDesigner program already, yes, a one stop solution but no local warranty is a headache.
also eyeing for Anthem 70 too, 6k sounds reasonable price range but I never hear Anthem before, and not formiliar with ARC, so I will wait for some comments in AVS first, or from Desray if he manages to get his hands on 1140/740.
another option is to hand carry a MP40 back from China at the cost of $9K+ vs. $12.3K local price, I’m willing to take the risk, but have to wait for COVID to settle down first.
Nevertheless, I’m not in a hurry now, still enjoying my ancient Marantz 7009 for the time being and wait patiently for next upgrading, lol

TEG, $5900 for 70.
Henry from TEG will try to get one unit of MRX 1140 in before CNY for me…but I’m not holding my breath for it.
cool, take.your time and wait for your comments. 
Updates from Anthem…still no joy and we have wait.
Dear Ray,
Thanks for your continued interest in Anthem.
I cannot comment as to “when” Singapore will receive their first shipment of 1140, but I can tell you that Singapore is no different than the rest of the world currently, as we have not begun shipping any MRX/AVM models.
These are very interesting and trying times, in this new COVID impacted world, there have been many delays around the globe with respect to parts and labour shortages / shutdowns. I know there is no comfort in this, but we are not alone, with most receiver and separates manufactures finding themselves in the same proverbial boat right now.
Please know that we are working as hard as we can to get these new and exciting world class products to market, and when you finally get your hands on an 1140, we sincerely hope that it will have been worth the wait!
Best Regards,

Dropped another email to Anthem yesterday asking for updates.
Hi John, while I have kept in touch with my my dealer (TEG) regarding the availability of the MRX 1140…TEG informed that Asia will not be getting it anytime soon because Singapore or rather Asia is not one of the continents that will receive the very first batch. Frankly, I’m quite disappointed to hear that.
I just couldn’t help but need to check with you…why is there no official updates (website just merely stated Jan 2021) nor is there any user manual for Some dealers from abroad mentioned that there is delay in shipment mostly on the pre/pro models like AVM 70 (till Feb) or even the AVM90 (as late as Jun). All these speculations and nebulous release dates is making fans like us wanting. Can you at least provide some concrete release date for international delivery so that I can make allocate my funds to see if it is worth waiting for the new Anthem MRX 1140.
Hope to hear some solid reply with some firm answers from you rather than asking me to keep check with my dealer for info.
Regards
Ray

I knew someone placed order for AVM70 at very attractive price through TEG a few weeks back. Have you placed order already Desray?
Nope…I’m still waiting for a reply from TEG. Last check, not much progress. Anyway I’ve spent my budget on the Lumagen Radiance Pro Video Processor for now. The upgrade to the new Anthem MRX 1140 can wait now.
Received a sms from TEG and was informed that the new MRX will ship to Singapore in March.
so late…never mind, we can wait, lol
A date has been confirmed from some reliable source…its definitely in Mar. The shipping date is 15 Mar 21 for MRX 1140.
The MRX stocks has arrived at the dealer’s stores in US.
This is the new MRX front view

ARC Genesis not working is considered a DOA to me…that’s not a good start for Anthem. What’s more puzzling to me is the use of Google Home app to connect to the web UI of the AVM70?! WTF! That is weird…

An introduction to the new 4th gen MRX series…
I guess we will miss the Mar availability again. Here’s the reply from The Experts Group:
Hi Desray,
Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately, there are no updates on the MRX1140 availability at this present moment.
Update from the factory indicate that with the shortage of critical component and reduced production availability, production will continued to be behind schedule.
But it will be back on track in the coming months.
We will monitor the situation closely and once units are available, we will keep you updated.
Thanks!
Regards,
Henry
