Just to chime in with my previous Anthem experience, I noticed a huge improvement in clarity when I upgraded from a Denon X4500H AVR to an Anthem MRX 720, especially in music. I was using pre-outs on both, so essentially using the AVR's as processors (amplification provided by Axiom ADA-1000's). Things got even better for the MRX 720 after I had a chance to run ARC Genesis.

I haven't seen Amir's videos, but it sounds like he may need to take a page from Axiom's book and balance the cold, hard math with blind listening tests.
