AVM 20 or AVM 30 vs Mid-Fi Yamaha Receiver

I am currently running the pre/pro portion of my Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver with a Sunfire Cinema Grand II amp (5 x 225W) with 3 Von Schweikert LCR-15s across the front and VS T-150s as the rears. I am debating upgrading to an AVM 20 or 30 and wanted opinions as to whether or not it would be worth it based on the other equipment I currently have in the system.

I used to own the AVM 30, and the sound was STELLAR. In fact when I recently built a system again around vinyl, I considered long and hard using an Anthem AVM as the preamp with a phono preamp, but Home theater was just not that important, so I went a different direction. I have not heard the Yamaha, but the sound quality from the Anthem's is comparable to almost any dedicated stereo preamp I have heard.

Anthem.
