B K ref30 or Anthem AVM2?

I am down to two choices for a pre/pro. I use my system 80% for music and 20% for home theater. Has anybody else auditioned or owned this equipment.

Ref30 seemed to have lots of setup parameters but the AVM2 provided more breathing room inside & out. Balanced connections to boot. System employs a ARC LS10 pre for 2ch. AVM2 handles basically theatre only other than surround music (DTS & 5.1) AVC3 amp for center & rears. All via balanced outs.
