Rotel RA-1520 vs Anthem 225 integrateds


I am considering these two integrated amps. Any observation from members that have heard either one, or both, would be appreciated. From what I've read, Rotel and Anthem are on the opposite ends of the sonic spectrum. Thanks for you feedback.

I have heard the anthem. It sounded so good I bought one today actually.
I have been auditioning amps to pair with the kef ls50. I wanted something on the warm/analog sounding side. I auditioned the arcam a19, peachtree nova125se, rega brio-r with/without rega dac and a line magnetic 216 tube amp. The anthem sounded the best in my home. The bass was so real and it warmed over the sometimes harsh kef.
