"The MCA-5 looks similar to a Bryston 9B-ST in build, down to the horrendous number of screws holding the chassis cover in place. As you can see from the figure shown at left, the MCA-5 has a very nice square wave response at 10 kHz, just like the Bryston. The bandwidth is very high - down 3 dB at 300 kHz, and the Bryston also has a high bandwidth. In fact, the Anthem and Bryston have the highest bandwidth of any five-channel power amplifiers we have tested. At almost 2/3 less than the price of the Bryston, though, the Anthem is a tremendous bargain.
One of the differences between the Anthem and Bryston is that the Anthem has a power supply that can deliver all its power to any of several channels, while the Bryston has a complete, but smaller, power supply as part of the modular design of each channel. The Anthem sounds a little like a Bryston too, complete with the slight edge in the highs. Many CDs have a little harshness to them, for one reason or another, and most manufacturers probably make sure that their amplifiers don't exacerbate this problem. Anthem and Bryston appear to have more of a show-it-like-it- is approach, making CDs' warts come to the surface. Perhaps with the new DVD Audio and SACD, we can have the cake and eat it too.
A powerful amplifier like the MCA-5 really struts its stuff with action movies, so I tossed on "The Matrix" which is one of the top selling DVDs so far. It has not only spectacular visuals, but great sound. I cranked the system up and sat back. The soundtrack is very complex, with lots of high frequencies as well as the lows. From pounding explosions, to broken glass, to the tinkle of machine gun cartridges bouncing, this movie tests just about anything connected to it. The MCA-5 did an excellent job of maintaining the illusion, making me wince along with the actors. An amplifier with this kind of power will hasten the move to soundtracks that are clean, because gritty sources are painful at 170 watts per channel regardless of how clean the amplifier is.
I also ran some of my DD and DTS music discs through the system, and the MCA-5 really shined, because I listen to music at much lower sound levels, and delivering about 10 - 20 watts per channel is a piece of cake for this amplifier. It seems to have relatively low inherent background noise levels too (rated at S/N -122 dB at full power), and this is nice for quiet evenings around the fire with some chamber music.
In summary, the Anthem MCA-5 is a very good amplifier regardless of the criteria for comparison, but at $1,399 for 170 watts x 5, it is a remarkable one. Sonic Frontiers set out to deliver high quality at an affordable price, and they certainly have succeeded.
Tror man det där så verkar det ju mycket lovande !
Fast fel nätspänning och på andra sidan atlanten
Men men.. sånt kanske går att komma kring.
kaffekoppen, varför 6 kanaler? 5 -kanaligt räcker väl tillsammans med ett stereoslutsteg även för 7.1
är lite mycket
Eller varför inte en 2807...
ett riktigt kap.......... låter som under halva ord. pris nån gång i tiden. Grattis
