Anthem 225 verses B&K EX 4420 and PT 3


I have a B&K EX 4420 and PT 3 . Am I improving things by going to an Anthem 225 integrated? I just like integrateds better but do not want to go backwards Speakers are PSB Golds. Power is not an issue for either setup. Last time I heard the 225 I thought it was kind of dry.Thanks

IMO, the PT3/EX4420 combo is fantastic.  Plenty of bass drive, warmish velvety midrange, and detailed but not strident highs.  Though I have never heard the Anthem 225, I do think Anthem builds some very nice sounding amplifiers with plenty of punch and about as neutral sounding as you can get.  I like integrated amps also so this choice would be a tough one for me.  
Are you able to purchase the Anthem without selling the B&K's first?  If so, do an exhaustive shootout and then decide.
