Depending on what wire he has in his system, the Anthem AVM60 might be too fast and too much resolution for the focal. I have used the Bryston SP3 in my system - uses all discrete Class A analog output stages (just like a high end preamp). It is very nice, very smooth sound and just about the best and strongest bass I've had out of a HT processor. However, it was just too laid back in the mids and upper mids for my tastes. This might match exactly what daj2832 needs because he is complaining that the Focal are too bright and harsh.
That being said, if you are locked onto the Krell Chorus XD amp, the Bryston might not be the best match because the new Krell amps really smooth over the sound and smooth out the high frequencies. Pairing the Krell XD with Bryston SP3 might be too laid back at this point. It's difficult to say because system synergy is a weird thing.
