Logical upgrade to Onkyo TX NR 3030 AVR

[Arvind Mathur]

I have been using Onkyo 3030 AVR for the last 8 years and have been quite satisfied with it's performance. Sound clarity is its USP.
I am also using ARC function of the AVR with my LG CX OLED.
Now looking for an upgrade within a price band of 3 to 3.5 Lakhs. Looking for new AVR to spice up things. Open to go for separates also if it fits into my budget.
I am using 5.2.1 speaker configuration.
Looking for suggestions from FMs.

Given your budget, I’d take a serious look at the Anthem MRX 740. With the ability of ARC Genesis in these units to adjust phase for better integration of subs with speakers, you may find this a worthwhile upgrade for your money.

With that budget Anthem is surely to be given a try. Also don't skip Yamaha AVENTAGE series of receivers.

The MRX740 will fit perfectly for your setup. I doubt u would need external amplification but if you do later on in the future(speaker upgrade) then the Anthems have good high voltage & clean signal pre outs. You could also consider the Arcam avr20.

In case I stretch my budget to 5 lakhs can I get a good pre power home theater set up?
What are the various combinations to fit withing this budget?
As an alternative is Arcam AV 31 AVR a good vhoiceviver aeperstes? Read lot of good reviews about this AVR but would appreciate User feedbacks

Another bet could be Tonewinner AT 300 pre pro and Emotive XPA 5 Power Amp.
