Class or Anthem?

[admin_exported]

I have a Classe and B&W 802D based hi fi and surround sound system. I'm currenty using an Onkyo Processor. I'm arranging []in home demos of the Classe SSP 800 and Anthem AMV50v in the next few weeks. I'm going to keep the Classe CP-500 pre amp for two channel sound so I'm only interested in the processors for multi channel use. Has anyone experience of comparing these two units. If so I would be very interested in hearing your opinion.

Not heard any of the Anthem equipment or the ssp800, but I have heard the 600 and was blown away by the performance. I would say as you have Classe amps stick with the 800. There is a lot of ssp800 user feedback/info on the htguide forum, I would also ensure that you will be getting one with hdmi 1.4 hardware.
