Anthem D2V 3D/P5 or Cary Audio Cinema 12/7.250


Hi, I am in the process of upgrading my home theatre system. I have just bought the Miller & Kreisel S150 series for speakers. I am now looking to upgrade the AV processor & Amp. Have got good deals on both Anthem & Cary (both similarly priced).

Which one do you recommend I should go for ? Main purpose of the HT will be to watch movies and play DVD/Blu Ray music content.

You might try an Oppo BDP-105 directly to amps first. Updates in technology tend to lead to early obsolescence of processors. I bought a used Cary Cinema 11a for DSD via HDMI and speaker management. Stereo from the C11a goes through a Parasound JC-2 BP analog preamp. Before I installed the Cary, the Oppo filled its role -- I was obsessed about getting surround DSD from a Sony XA5400ES, perhaps foolishly, but I was able to buy the C11a for about $1200. Anthem processors don't process DSD via HDMI.
