i recently purchased a nad m25 and sold the marantz that i was going to use as my pre/processor so now i am in search of a pre pro. I had considered the outlaw, but my room needs a good room correction software due to its shape. I decided to either pick the anthem MRX300 receiver and use it as a preamp or just buy the emotiva umc 200.
Any thoughts on what would be a better choice? i have heard the both units having pluses and minuses like anything else outhere, but it boils down to which one would have the best room correction and sound quality to match that of my NAD M25.

LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYONE'S INPUT!

    Anthem will have better room equalization, probably sound better too, but....is that really your main concern ? God knows the 2 channel guys around here without any room correction software might disagree with you.

    You got rid of the Marantz, which was a pretty good unit itself, if you want to venture into pre/pro's it's going to cost more coin. Throw out a budget and we can limit the suggestions.

    Don't know what you're looking to spend but the NAD M15 HD2 AV Surround Sound Preamp would be a nice fit.
