I wonder how underrated the axiom amps are? Between the HP upgrades and the new room I think I'll be using my 1000-4 at its limits. I can't wait.

My M60s sing a hell of a lot better now with a dedicated amp. I found a discontinued Parasound model unopened in original box for a decent price on Ebay. If you're not opposed to buying used you can get some really good dedicated power. If you like it loud and have a decent sized room you can definitely benefit from a separate amplifier from you Denon.

Hello: It's been quite a while since I've posted here. At the beginning of this thread I indicated I had a older Denon receiver...well it is now dead. I am looking to buy an Anthem MRX 510 or 520. I am aware of the power & channel differences but I am unsure, novice that I am, of the differences of the other bells and whistles. Can someone give a brief summary of these differences? This would help me in my decision as the older 710, 510 & 310 are much cheaper now and can still be bought new in box. I am powering a pair of M80v3's and am planning to add speakers for a 5.1 or 7.1 HT at some future point.

The MRX720 is identical to the MRX1120 except it doesn't have the extra 4 atmos channels amplified.
The MRX520 is a significant step downwards from the other two. If I was in your shoes and the cost of the MRX710 was selling for around the same price, I would say it is far better unit. The 710 was their top end of the intergrated receivers. it also had a far beefier power supply than the 510 unit. In some respects the 710 is a far better design and build than the newer units but just does not support the 11 channel atmos / dts-X. you need to decide if those items are important to you along with pass through of 4K video.
