Help in new processor purchase

Howdy…gonna do an upgrade soon, need advice.  Current system:Anthem avm 60  , Lexicon ZX-7 amp, Revel 5.1 with F208’s and Revel sub, Thinking about upgrading to Anthem avm 90, or McIntosh MX123.  
I primarily listen to 2 channel high res in 5.1, and music dvd’s.  Not much of a movie guy.  My room is mid sized and kinda oddball shaped, think I need some significant room correction, especially to fix muddy bass.  Suggestions, caveats?

Room treatment and EQ your subs, then switch to a 2-channel integrated. :) You don’t have to have room correction to EQ subs but they sure help.

Another alternative is the Anthem integrateds or 2 channel preamps with ARC

For room treatment, the GIK Acoustic Soffit Traps are really hard to beat in terms of lower octave performance. 2" panels can't perform well below ~ 100 Hz or so.
