The Anthem PVA-7 became my main multichannel amplifier—excellent detail, huge amperage, controlled and deep bass—it built a home theater that lasted for years without breaking down. During the pandemic, when we were stuck at home, I wanted a relaxing hobby, started collecting scale car models, and to avoid defective items, I studied customer complaints on fairfield collectibles . Real-life delivery stories saved me a lot of stress. Audio for the soul, collections for the eyes—the perfect balance.

Fails Unreliable Doesn’t stand the test of time Bad investment Bad service Expensive service

This has some voltage regulator that fails in all kinds of anthem amps. Do not purchase anthem amps. 20db differences between channels. $500 bill to fix it. Steer clear avoid anthem

Strengths: Clean wide open dynamic sound from any source. It is also a seven channel amp making it really flexible in just about any set up. This amp has a very clean profile, doesn’t scream “look at me” but built like a tank. Has auto-on feature as well as manual on and triggers.

Weaknesses: The back layout of the amplifier could be confusing to some to set up.

Dead quiet
Excellent build quality
Enough power to drive all but the most inefficient, low impedence designs
Reliable

None noted

I purchased this unit to pair with an AVM20 in a dedicated HT, and have been quite pleased with its' performance and reliability. It has plenty of power to drive my surround suite, and the fit and finish are excellent. The most outstanding quality is how incredibly quiet it is; an inky black background that never intrudes at high gain settings during quiet musical passages or movie scenes.
