Anthem MRX 740 8K 11.2 Pre-Amplifier / 7 Amplifier Channels AV Receiver

Anthem MRX 740 8K 11.2 Pre-Amplifier / 7 Amplifier Channels AV Receiver

The MRX 740-8K is the successor to the best-selling Anthem MRX 720 Home Theater Receiver. This is the model we think will be our most popular one. It has seven powered channels built-in, offering 140 watts per channel. The amp section is a lot beefier than the MRX 540 so you will get better dynamics and speaker control with the MRX 740.
