Mcintosh MX136/MC205 vs Anthem D2v/A2

Hello Audiogoners,
I am planning to upgrade my system use 50/50 on both home theater and music.
Current have
B&W804s speakers
B&W ASW825B Sub
B&W HTM2 Center
805 Cary Audio monos
98LP Cary Audio pre
Rega CD player
Denon Reciever
Will buy B&W802D in future
I don't want to replace equipment again when get 802. I haven't listen to MC pre/pro, but did on Anthem.
Anthem sound very clear, but heard a lot of people said Mcintosh go with B&W better.
Please post opinion.
Thank you very much.

I have the D2V with MC303's and Nautilus 802's. I've tried other amps but they sound best with the Mcintosh in my opinion.

Jury is out for me on the Anthem. For 5.1 it's pretty amazing. I don't care for its sound in 2.0 mode on digital sources.
