Anthem MRX 310 A/V Receiver Review Highlights
Anthem’s second generation of MRX receivers has garnered much acclaim in recent months. And while the MRX 310 is the baby of line, its video performance and sound quality is equal to that of its more powerful brothers, like the MRX 710 but just for a smaller room. All MRX receivers feature the newest iteration of the highly regarded Anthem Room Correction System, along with a streamlined design and feature set that focuses on more of what you do need and less of what you don’t. Avoid being put off by the fact that this is “only” a 5.1 channel receiver for what is easily 7.1 channel money these days. In the right size room, the MRX 310 more than makes a compelling case for itself as a top notch home theater front end.

Introduction to the Anthem MRX 310 A/V Receiver Review
Putting together a new home theater setup? Looking to upgrade that old receiver you’ve had soldiering on valiantly in your a/v cabinet? Well, the home theater enthusiast should find themselves spoiled for choice these days. Just to get some ideas, Secrets has reviewed quite a few receivers over the years. Just a quick perusal through the major online retailers and the local brick and mortars will provide one with a plethora of options. For a reasonable budget of $500.00 – $700.00, it’s fairly easy to find a 7.1 channel receiver with decent connectivity, some networking options and some sort of room correction program from many of the major players out there. So why, you might ask, would someone consider shelling out north of $1100 bucks for a home theater receiver with only 5.1 channels and minimal bells and whistles? The fine folks at Anthem are betting that once you give their updated line of MRX receivers a listen, you’ll understand that they’ve spent their time and effort on the important stuff. They make no bones about the sound quality and performance being of paramount importance. The kitchen sink approach to A/V receiver feature sets has apparently been left for everyone else.
