Lucky you! Audioholics just released an exhaustive review of the AVM90. I don't agree with all of it's conclusions [specifically the one regarding the Web UI] but it's definitely worth a read. All things considered, I'm happy with my AV10 and would still recommend it in a world of imperfect options.@John Dirk I know you returned your Anthem AVM 70 as it didn't suit your tastes. But, otherwise, did you look into the differences between the 70 and 90? I'm noodling on the new PrePro and the 70 at $4k is pretty good price compared to Marantz right now. And at a glance it seems everything one needs for a 7.2.4 setup. This isn't a pressing purchase for me.
But I'm trying to think through practical upgrade considerations in the next 12-18 months and how I might purchase them. Maybe even decide what I want and watch for it to have a sale, or a refurb option, or a used can't-pass-it-up price to "impulse" buy from an informed position.
