Processor Recs

I am in the process of putting together a 2nd HT room to be used equally for movies and music. My speakers are the Meridian DSP 5200's and will be getting the same for the center speaker. My source for the short term will likely be the Toshiba HD-DVD or OPPO DVD Player. I am in the market for a processor for this system and looking at the Meridian G68, Anthem D2, Arcam AV9, Thesa Cassa, and the Lex MC12. Any owners of some of these units care to comment ? I am looking for a unit to use for a very long time and strong in both movie and music aspects.
Thanks in advance.

One thing that Lexicon has going for it is (besides being very good as-is) that the initial purchase is like a buy-in to the company. They offer upgrades in both firmware and hardware over the lifespan of the product. After they have maximized the upgradability of the product they offer insane trade in options. At one point the trade in value of an ancient Lexicon (that would go for maybe $400 on Agon) was such that for something like $600 + trade in unit, you got their top of the line processor.

Good luck!
