Here is my situation. My HK7300 has died. I have Axiom M60's/VP150/EP500/QS8. I was mostly happy w/the Surround Performance of the HK, but the music was harsh in what is a fairly bright room. I love the Axiom sound when I had it in a warmer room. Unfortunately, I have modified the room all the wife will allow and now need to mate my Axioms with a Receiver that will help w/some of those highs.

I have read AMAZING things about the Arcam Avr-350, but it does not offer Audyssey EQ. My question is, will the non-EQ'd Arcam potentially sound better than an EQ'd Denon 4806? I have heard the Arcam's are in a different class sound wise, but not sure if the EQ would outweigh the quality for my situation.

Thanks for any guidance. Also, my room is 32x12x10
