Home Cinema Choice  |  June 2021
Home cinema sound specialist Anthem has updated its AV receiver and processor range, and this issue we put the MRX 740 through its paces. This fully-featured AVR promises both brains and brawn – does it deliver?
Also on the test bench is LG’s OLED65C1, a 4K Dolby Vision HDR OLED TV that looks destined to be the Korean brand’s flatscreen sweet-spot in 2021. We also run the rule over SVS’s ultra-compact 3000 Micro subwoofer; the 100L5FTUK 100in ‘Laser TV’ from Hisense; Samsung’s HW-Q800A 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar; an affordable Cambridge Audio 5.1 speaker package; JBL’s Charge 5 wireless speaker; premium Focal headphones; Huawei’s Sound speaker; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray, 4K and streaming releases including Godzilla, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Speed. We also saddle up for a ride through the ups and downs of the Western genre, from its silent reel beginnings to present day.
Elsewhere, we give you the lowdown on how to set up your surround sound speaker system; break out our joypad to look at the next-gen features of the Xbox Series X and PS5; take a tour of a reader’s home theatre setup; gawp at a pair of plush pro cinema installs; and wonder if the BBFC needs to launch a 50+ certification…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
