I have an Anthem Integrated @ that I am looking to sell. I am selling due to a purchase of speakers that are not very efficient and a need of greater power. I always enjoyed the sound of the Anthem. It has good bottom end, warm mids, and "I could listen for hours" highs. The Anthem also includes a SSP loop for future integration into a HT system. Some have even used the pre amp outs looped back into the SSP for a more robust sound. Plus, you can always change the tubes in the pre-amp section to better tailor the sound to match other components. I used both Marantz and Sonic Frontiers CD players and had good results with both. If you are interested in this amp let me know I'm not asking that much. If you want more information on the Anthem there is a review at www.soundstage.com I do not have any experience with the other amp you listed. So I can not commet.
