The Vincent is a very good amplifier; the Anthem sucks.
My top two choices in that price range would be the Music Hall A70.2 and the Musical Fidelity M3i, which are both excellent-sounding amplifiers with good power that will work great with your speakers. They both sell for $1500. The Vincent would be my #3 choice. The Anthem would be #54 or 55; I think it sounds like an old Sony amp, becuse the sound quality goes to hell when it is driven hard.
Thanks for the feedback! I got the opportunity to audition the Anthem and the Vincent integrated amps. I loved the sound produced by the Vincent amp. Definitely I will keep this one as an alternative. Regarding to Music Hall, the dealer who sold me the B&W's sell Music Hall gear. I look at the specs online, I will audition this one too to compare it with the Vincent.
