Which pre/pro under 3k?
Then you'll probably be just fine and happy with the Anthem, with it's room correction ,and otherwise excellent all around sonics. The Arcam can't fix room mode problems, that are a givin in small acoustic spaces. FYI 
Emotiva UMC-200 vs Primare SP31?
I don't know, but I sure wish someone here could compare, say, the Emotiva and or Primare, VS USING AN OPPO DIRECT FROM IT'S ANALOG OUT'S - bypassing an external pre/pro, and using DD/DTS and internal processing in the OPPO - DIRECT TO A MULTICH A... 
Which pre/pro under 3k?
Of course, there are no free lunches...and, in a perfect world, there would be no need for preamps, all together, perhaps!??? I know this is thread about "which pre/pro...", so pardon the blip in the thread. ..But I find the problem with the only ... 
Which pre/pro under 3k?
Just to kinda resonate with some of the inferences here - recommending the 2ch analog preamp avenue - I remember going to quite a few sales training and "demo" seminars of both main stream AVRs and even small company esoteric electronics (Separate... 
Which pre/pro under 3k?
I'm always gunna recommend the high end 2 channel dedicated preamp, mated with the best used high end AV pre-pro you can then afford after Is left over the budget. Otherwise, know you're likely gunna at least compromise the 2 channel ultimate qual... 
One or two subs
I'm going to ALWAYS advise against some recommended loudspeaker location recommendation layout in an owners manual, as there's simply too many unacounted for variables to consider for best results. Each layout and seating situation is different. B...

Criderfive, I see you didn't say that you appreciated any of my points of view. Ouch!..that hurts!! THAT'S IT!!- my $4000 Audio/Video Calibration tool, is now going up for sale on Ebay! After all, no need to measure frequency response or color tem...

No no no, ZD542! ..you came to redirect the post, point out that the post was irrelevant and pointless, that no one could ever prove that anything stated is either correct or incorrect, is better than anything else, and that opinions on the matter...

Oh and, FTR,.. gourmet restaurant food, upscale fashion as well as hi-end commuter automobiles are all subjective realities too!!. -you see, cause no one can factually argue that McDonnalds isn't ACTUALLY the best tasting food ever offered, nor is...

Zd542, I do think you and Andrew Robinson would make good "Woods mates", should you be lost in a forest! -just go with whatever. (or maybe instead of simply rebutting on my statements, perhaps you could point out some specifics of what's seen on t...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upn4aeARWocDon't get me wrong...this kinda stuff, at least, does inspire me to want to design "better systems", and work towards putting a better effort foreword in building the very best HT scenarios I can implement... 
One or two subs
All things equal, more subs equals more efficiency and output capability. Smaller rooms have a problem both absorbing bass energy, however, for proper RT60, and long bass frequencies don't support well in diminutive dimensions. So I like small sin...
