home theater processor suggestions?

This is what i am looking for a processor that has /does the following:
1. has hdmi1.3 or better
2. xlr connections
3. room correction
4. be able to process most of the upper formats.
5. 7 channel.

i have no need for analog input or out puts. i run hdmi in and out. i just need one of each.

i run a anthem statement p5 amp

Perhaps a used/refurbished/"B"stock Integra 80.2 or Onkyo 5508? Fits all your needs, afaik, and might be attractively priced. Current models, 80.3 or 5509, might be available advantageously if their successors are announced at CEDIA.

The Anthem MRX line delivers much of the performance of their dedicated processors at a much lower price point. I use the MRX300 as a pre/pro. No XLR though. Great piece for $1k.
