Recommendations for a new SSP?

I currently have an Anthem AVM 30 and I'm hoping to find an equivalent or better quality surround sound processor that has HDMI for both audio and video. New, the AVM 30 was $3000. I paid $1750 used and one recently sold on Audiogon for $650. With the rapid drop in price in general for SSP's, I am willing to spend up to $2000 used or new. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

There are minor and, imho, insignificant differences.

How's about a Cary Cinema 11a?

The sound from the Cary is very good if you can get over being pissed off about its quirks. The 11A has digital switching problems. Mine tends to lose signal when the digital source signal comes by coax. HDMI is fine. Mine also blew the tweeters in my Totem Model 1's when it got stuck trying to find the source and switching became continuous and VERY loud. I couldn't turn it off fast enough before damage occurred. New firmware helped a little but problems persist. I have no idea how I will be able to sell this thing. My recommendation? Something else........
