Anthem AVM20 or Parasound Halo C2?

I'm upgrading my HT from my current Onkyo DS989 to components, and I'm interested in the Anthem AVM20 and Halo C2. Can anyone help me with a comparison of build quality, reliability, sound, upgradability, etc.? I see lots of opinions on the AVM20, but none on the Halo C2. Are these competing on the same level, or is the Halo a higher quality unit?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Check out www.avsforum.com and you will find enough info on the c2 or any other pre/pro to numb your mind if you choose to read it all.

The c2 is compared to a lot of processors by people who have owned the likes of Anthem,Proceed,Sunfire,Aragon and Bryston ect.
These owners all seem to prefer the c2 in sonics to other pre/pros up to 5-6k.
In the ever growing main c2 thread on avs forum,there is also info on buying the c2 for 31-3200.00 from an authorized dealer.

I have a Cinepro paired up with the Anthem AVM20 - you cannot go wrong. Sounds awesome!

I paired my AVM20 up with a Sherbourn 7/2100
and couldn't be happier with the results, It's
truly audiophile level HT. Good luck with your quest.
