Hey Guys, sorry for jumping in late... If you're going Dante then I highly recommend going down the JBL SDP-55 route. My next upgrade is to replace my Anthems with the JBLs so that I keep everything digital all the way to the Phantoms.
As @Snoopy8 suggested, stick with the same type of Phantom in the HT setup... you can get away with Phantom Classics for Surrounds if you want to save a little money.
For the rest of the house you'll need something to act as the volume control. I ended up using a Symetrix Radius to do this for me and integrated it with Savant remotes so each room in the house has independent volume control. My sources for the non HT rooms are bluesound Node 2i's. These allow me to connect via BT and setup whole house sound if needed.
Let me know if you need anything else.
