Read a review of Arcam's AVR600 A/V receiver today in the new issue of Widescreen Review magazine.
Must say, after years of reading all the HiFi and A/V magazines, have never read a more glowing review. The writer says it is "the finest sound I have heard in my life, from any system. Ever. Anywhere. Regardless of price." He includes separates.
Wow. OK, you got me. Am officially intrigued.
Currently using a Denon 3808 in a 5.1 setup using M22's, VP150, QS4's and EP175. Sources are an Oppo BD-83 for Blu Ray and SACD, and a network drive for cd's (all ripped to FLAC). Am very happy with my home theater performance, but am looking for more performance with 2-channel music. The room is 12x17x8.
Am thinking of replacing the M22's with M80's and upgrading to the AVR600. Any advice on how you think they would match up?
The other option I am looking at is a Bel Canto stack. Would then keep the Denon for multichannel (and use the Bel Canto's HT Bypass input).
Thanks very much in advance for your replies!
