Hi,
Just a quick comment: Arcam is definitely excellent gear; I'd choose the Denon myself (excellent power supply, good with low-impedance loads, clear setup menus for HT, fine sound, etc.). I know you like NAD, BBIBH, but NAD has had reliability problems over the past 5 or 6 years. Rotel gear is nicely designed, and worked well when I reviewed it for Sound& Vision (Canada) magazine. I would hope by now NAD had corrected its relibility troubles but that wasn't the case as recently as a few months ago.
