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?

The AVM 60 is great and has pretty darn good room correction software — is that not working?  My first recommendation would be to add a second sub to improve/even out bass performance and enhance overall imaging/soundstage.  Just my $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck.

While I respect JL Labs subs a lot, I’m not sure you need to go to that level of expense for great sound. These SVS SB1000 Pro subs get you down to 20Hz (-3dB) and are very room friendly at what are basically only 13” cubes, and you can get two for only $1150 and include very good integration software. They offer a truly risk-free, 45-day in-home trial including shipping both ways so you can see if they do what you need. Just trying to save you some $$$, and best of luck.
