Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater My Atmos thread

I miss the helpful Grimani vids. Most of late have been advertisements for his super speakers and custom setups. A gecko 's gotta eat I guess.

No Problem we had a half snow storm this afternoon so made it late getting into Halifax. I am going indoor golfing tomorrow. After that I'll take a run over and see what they say.

I can't believe Crutchfield is the only authorized online site for Anthem and they never have discounts. Still waiting to see if I hear from a few local stores here in Iowa.

I have some emails into 2 dealers here in Iowa, but so far no return email...

Yeah, I've heard that Iowa is one of those states where A/V dealers in general are slow to respond to individuals compared to some other states (per some of the guys at AVS in Iowa that have tried to reach out in general). They are looking for the home builder projects and such, not a single item sale.


Hopefully you will have better luck.

For Anthem around you, there is like 3 options...
Audio Labs (claims to have a storefront, but I can't verify that)
A+ Home Solutions (installer)
Intelligent Integration (installer - web page goes to a company called "Reference". They do have a live chat option that popped up when I went there.)

I got mine from an installer, but again, he was strumming up business on Facebook (I think so that he could say that he sold more Anthem products than anyone in his region), but other installers might not be so eager for the single product sale.

Hopefully I am wrong.

yep, AL is in downtown DSM right on Locust, been there forever and I do believe they have a walk in storefront. I also saw the others you mentioned from their site. I also sent a message to Hawkeye up in Cedar Falls, but a Sony turntable from them back in the 90s.

There is also a place over in Davenport and Omaha area..

OK, not as cheap as I thought but the MRX720 was
the AVM60 $2800
MRX1120 $3130

Plus tax %15 he's not allowed to ship to USA Anthem products

The AVM60 would be about $2250 usd plus shipping. probably close to the same in Iowa

I think the AVM60 sells for $2999 here in the states which is suggested retail price. So I'm a little confused, so he gave you a price in US dollars of $2250, but can't ship it? Plus another 15% tax or $337? plus shipping? Probably would work then...

Are those initial numbers in USD or CAD? If CAD, then the 1120 would be about $2365USD + 15% (about $355USD) plus shipping, say $50ish.

$2770 USD for the MRX 1120 if my math is correct. And the guy is still making a good profit.

Yeah, that shipping to the US part is partially my fault. Seriously.

I got my 1120 from a Canadian installer for a "really good price" and then when Anthem found out that he was selling south of the border to the US, they got all over him about it. He was undercutting U.S. dealer prices pretty steeply to be honest. A great deal for me (and a few others), but it ended really quick when someone blew the whistle after I simply mentioned online that I got a great deal from him... Someone noticed that I was in the U.S. and that he was in Canada and they called him out for it.

You would need to get someone in Canada to buy it on your behalf and ship it to you, but then you would still have to find out somehow about the warranty transfer.
