ANTHEM AVM50v pre-amp audiophile processor

Anthem AVM50V processor.
Selling for such a low price as it’s a shame it’s not being used and sitting in ,y cupboard. Sold as seen. It was working perfectly when removed from system 2 years ago and has been boxed and dry stored since then. You’re welcome to come and test it out or I can post it in original fully protective box for €15.
Incredible audiophile quality for multi channel or 2 channel playback.
Balanced and phono outs and everything you could possibly need.
As new condition with all original hardware including full ARC SYSTEM TO Calibrate if required.
All original box/packaging.
Working perfectly, rarely used and has never been opened or repaired or had a fault since new. Have details of Hifi dealer in England it was bought from new.
Welcome to collect and demonstrate/test but if you need it posting at your own risk I am happy to do that.
Will send insured post for €15.

. Review ………..
One could easily use the AVM 50v 3D as a reference two-channel preamp.

With movies, and with ARC engaged, the Anthem greatly narrowed the performance gap, consistently treating me to a more coherent, 360-degree surround soundstage. The AVM 50v 3D allowed sounds to appear from everywhere around the room. With respect to video performance, there was no contest -- the Classé doesn’t process video signals, it merely switches them -- so I compared the AVM 50v 3D to my Oppo BDP-95, which includes Marvell’s very-well-respected Kyoto-G2 video processor and second-generation Qdeo technology. Until inserting the Anthem in my system, I’d thought the Oppo was about as good as it gets at video deinterlacing and scaling, but I was wrong. As good as the Oppo is, the Anthem was better, offering the best picture quality I’ve ever seen -- not only in my own room, but from any video-scaling device I’ve seen anywhere. Black levels were deeper, jaggies were further reduced, edges were crisper with both standard- and high-definition material, upscaled DVDs were as close to true HD as I’ve seen, and there was a notable increase in detail retrieval and overall sharpness.

Wrapping up

It had been some time since I’d reviewed any home-theater gear, and I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I’d spent some time with Anthem’s new AVM 50v 3D A/V processor. Fully configured, it generated the best picture and the most holistic soundstage I’ve seen or heard in my room. The levels of performance, engineering, and outright value that Anthem offers for $6500 scream "Benchmark product!" I’m going to have a hard time reacclimating to my Classé-Oppo combo. Highly recommended!
