excellent built-in amps and effective ARC correction
The build quality is good

absence of independent subwoofer outputs
smoothness quotient was not as high as the the 720 either
Anthem multichannel inputs to get a multi-channel DSD via analog connection
the receiver does not have multichannel analog input
the ARC does not add additional mid bass in my room
Anthem cannot decode native DSD in multichannel or stereo
the unit was noticeably heavier than the MRX 310 was
It could have easily fallen to sonic mush on a lesser receiver
No additional juicing of the levels was required
sound would be coming from roughly the Dolby prescribed angles
absurdly long
ponderous
steaming hot load of poo
home cinema system
there's no way to capture the distance of the microphone in relation to the loudspeakers
no in-built network file playback or integrated music services
no option to download firmware from the internet
Greyhound in Fulham Palace road
omissions like no dedicated app and no voice control support
the price difference is too big between them
the remote on the other hand seems like it is stuck in the past
Anthem can be a bit harsh with inexperienced users
it still felt very rough around the edges
expensive audio equipment
sound quality did not drop off when streaming music
the pricing is a little high
Strange to see different roll off in each channel
noise floor would climb up and then jump back down and repeat
this is pretty poor for an amplifier
zombies retains a deep and terrifying roar
It may not display this or other websites correctly
MRX 540 is very limited in terms of immersive audio speaker layouts
no passthrough of HDR10+ (no great loss)
There was no multichannel input to measure
