I would not consider any of the Musical Fidelity gear "warm" sounding. If anything, i would say that it is a relatively "smooth yet detailed" sound that was "quick and lean" i.e. lacking in warmth or "fullness". Others might agree or disagree.
As to recommending another amp, that might be tough. None of the five channel amps that i've heard would mate real well with metal domes. I would definitely avoid the Rotel and Parasound amps for that reason. Then again, i've never really heard the Anthem under ideal conditions. It MIGHT be a good candidate, or at least a better match than the others that you mentioned.
Some of this will be cable dependent, but i would work on getting the basic sound "right" first and then playing with cables later. Sean
