Hi Wawaron,
You have asked a tough question or two here. And I am certainly not well qualified to answer you, but I hate to see your post just get left out flappin in the wind. So here goes.
I have Tritons and Mirages too. They should play nicely together.
Our Triton 2s are awesome speakers and will serve us best if given the best signal we can feed them. So I can hear what you are saying about upgrading. However, the 2s will sing with lovely, clean power (too much power is nearly never the problem, too little power is), but don't need a LOT of it. IF you are thinking you want to play them louder, the Anthem should be able to play them pretty loud. But it might struggle a bit to have the headroom and power reserves you need. If that is the case, then, sure, upgrade.
How, exactly you would add a stereo amp is possibly very easy or really tough. I got online and looked at the specs of your Anthem and I saw that it does have a pre-out. But whether or not that will be a processed, Front Left and Front Right output with volume control and all your settings, that I do not know. I doubt it.
You need something like that. You must have a volume control in there somewhere when you add an amp (unless I am really missing something in your question). You cannot just play the signal through a 250 wpc amp and to the Tritons without control to turn up and down the volume, and usually to process for Dolby Digital or DTS surround and most people even process further with room correction like Audyssey. All of that will happen in your Anthem or other surround processor, to send the right amount, volume and type of signal to each of your speakers. If that is happening, then you do not need to worry about over-driving your other speakers, or the Tritons.
I hope this helps. If not, please ask more specific questions. The Moderator or someone here will be able to help. Good people here.
Enjoy, Wayne
God bless the child that's got his own.
