Best sounding processor


Looking for a great sounding processor, say 11 channels or so.  
 

wouldnt it sound better with tubes?  I now use a tube preamp which is a nice added layer on top of av processor.

I can say from experience that you also want to avoid Onkyo and Emotiva.

A lot of people favor Marantz but I find it harsh and bright sounding.  Listen for yourself. 

Anthem is my pick as well.

Anthem AV is the sweet spot of affordable, feature rich, good soundding and great room correction.  I really dislike the Marantz and Onkyo offerings.

On the high end is Datasat and Theta, but I always think Theta is on the brink of vanishing.
