Home Theater Processor


All I am looking at replacing my Lexicon MC14/Bryston SP3 unit. Looking for any good suggestions. I have been looking at the Anthem AVM60 and the McIntosh MX160. I want to upgrade to a Dolby Atmos processor. Thanks

I love my Marantz 8802A. couldn't be more pleased with the sound and the processing of video/audio. you can find deals on used ones! 
the DACs in the Marantz are excellent sounding. I purchased the Oppo 205 and now using the DAC's in it for my music, movies, computer, and tv streaming. 
@don_1. Is there a significant improvement running TV through the 205 Oppo?
I'm using the Oppo 205 through the Marantz 8802A. I don't know why, but 4K looks terrible compared to Blu ray. I may not have the settings right.

The preamp/amp is the central hub. AVM60 is a great preamp. Use 2x5325 amps ore 325 or 225 amps to your budget and configuration.

HDMI ARC from pre to TV, Oppo to HDMI pre input, all the other components onto the Pre and away you go.

Anthem is not a bit mover in Australia where Asian brands predominate to a price point. I took the Anthem over the Yamaha MX/CX combo for the flexibility and 13.2 channels.

That's my HT system. My stereo is another ballgame....
