I just went & listened to the Arcam yesterday and I must say that it lives up to it's reputation. I think that Moncrief's review was quite hyperbolic but it really is stunning for music. The dealer didn't have it hooked up in a HT setup, but I did give it quite a workout on 2-channel stuff. It was hooked up to Paradigm studio 20's and later a pair of Sig. 20's. I'm planning on getting one of them, or an AVP 700 in the future.
