Processor recommendation

Please provide me with constructive criticism and advice on my HT and Music system and let me know what processor you would recommend for it, I was thinking the theta Casablanca III or Anthem AVM 60 or Marantz 8802 or emotiva xmc:

Monitor Audio PL300 Series 1 - Fronts
Monitor Audio PL350 - Middle
Monitor Audio PL100 - Rear
Mcintosh MC 300 - three of them, one for each front channel
Mcintosh MC 152 - for two back channels
Oppo 205 DVD
Emotiva xmc — processor - haven’t bought it yet and need it for ht movies and music playing

Thanks for the advice!

Anthem AV60. Has ARC, 11.2 XLR, Latest design. I have one with 1x525for the rears, 1x325 for the fronts, 1x325 for the roof and 2 subs. I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't good.

Love your speakers. :) 

REALLY disliked the Emotiva. It sounded exactly like you would expect middle of the road import gear to sound like. Quiet, reliable, and bone dull. 

I always wanted to try one of the NAD units now that they are making them pretty modular.

I had an old Theta Casanova. LOVED IT! 

I was hoping they'd make a Casanova II or the Supernova, but they did not, they went with the Casablanca III HD or something for a lot more cash than I wanted to spend. 

Best,
