Howdy,
I have a Parasound 2500u. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and use it for music & HT. The unit's remote is OK, a little hard to use and the backlight is a little sparse. You can get one of these units very reasonable on this site used. It does not appear warm for music but neither does it appear bright. I have heard that the Anthem avm v.2 is spectacular and have heard many recommend it. Check out web at audioreview.com for evaluations under Community Highlights. A lot of course depends on your speakers. I have Merlins bought used off of this site. Prior I had Martin Logans sl3's. Both while different in soundstage, still re-iterate the non-warm but not too bright comments.
The new parasound is Halo. I don't know much about it.
Here is a dealer I have used for Parasound who also sells B&K and is very reasonble. VERY. Tell him I Robert from San Antonio sent you. Although one should always support their local dealer when possible.

Good luck
