You should get the Lyngdorf MP-50. Spectacular for HT. Has excellent Room Perfect and it does the latest formats.
Don't know how it performs in stereo for music playbacks. But the Lyngdorf does not have analog audio inputs. It retails for $10k, $4 cheaper than the McIntosh MX160. The MX160 has analog audio inputs.
For cheaper option you should highly consider the Anthem AVM60 for $3k new. Its ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction) is phenomenal. With ARC2 engaged and properly calibrated its surround performance for HT is amazing especially considering its asking price of $3k new.
The new Marantz AV8805 is supposed to be great too but I've never demoed it but I have heard the AV8802 (previous model) in a familiar HT setup and system and it was great for HT (surrounds). However, the Anthem's ARC2 is way better than the Audyssey in the Marantz, which will make big difference.
