Help in new processor purchase


Howdy…gonna do an upgrade soon, need advice.  Current system:Anthem avm 60  , Lexicon ZX-7 amp, Revel 5.1 with F208’s and Revel sub, Thinking about upgrading to Anthem avm 90, or McIntosh MX123.  
I primarily listen to 2 channel high res in 5.1, and music dvd’s.  Not much of a movie guy.  My room is mid sized and kinda oddball shaped, think I need some significant room correction, especially to fix muddy bass.  Suggestions, caveats?

Thanks guys…plan to address the bass issue with 2 JL audio subs, I hear the correction/software they have for tuning works great.  Have a little bit of acoustic treatments, somewhat limited by French doors(!) and wife!  Want to upgrade for atmos and newer hdmi cords, etc.  love my ZX-7 amp…..

@biffmeister

I have an atmos system and if you are heading in that direction I would check out the Anthem AVM-70 or the Mac MX-100 as you probably will be going with a 7.2.4 system. The AVM 90 is a premium price for people using 4 subs. Don’t pay more for features you likely won’t use. I have an open door in the back of my room instead of french doors and have a portable bass trap, I just move it to the corner when not in use. You may want to check out Auralex pro panels or acoustimac custom panels which can look like art work. This is the Auralex portable bass trap:

 

Thanks gentlemen, I do have a “subdude “ (?) bass trap seems to help. Anyone have experience with Anthem room correction vs Audyssey?

we used to sell anthem had a recent falling out the avm 70 is far betterthen the 60

 

please contact us for an in depth discussionof the 60 vs 70

I use both Anthem and Audussey. If you get Audyssey do the upgrade to MultQ-X and you will find they both do a great job.

Unlike @audiotroy I have my ACTUAL system and graphs of each room correction posted in my profile.
