Does somebody has a Cambridge Audio Azur 640r on his HT system? Satisfy of the performance ??? Your comments about it ( good or bad). I have now idea how it is on 5.1 or 7.1 HT configuration I buy one few month ago, Actually I used it im my living room in stereo mode.... very satisfy for now!!!! but guess what, soon my teens will leave home & i'll plan to make a HT room... i my basement !!! With Axiom spkr for sure.

Carl, welcome. The 640 is a competently designed(although overpriced)receiver which has been designed for HT use. So, there's no reason to suspect that it wouldn't do well for that use, within its designed limits.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

OK thanks for yours opignon. (although overpriced) Well i get a 500$ rebate on a Demo unit. so it's should be fair deal.

It will not process the latest HD audio formats. If that’s important to you (should be), then I would pass on this AVR.

???? not the Latest audio format ... for movie???? Well i'm newbie so i'm not aware of everything.
I just wish having a good A/V reveiver better than average, not necessaily the most up to date.
The future will twll me if i made a good choice ( somewhere in the next winter when il will purchase my HT spkr... for now, it's sound great on stereo mode.)

BTW, Chevy, I don't know if you are aware of this, but one of Axiom's technical expert (JC) lives in Sherbrooke and has an incredible demo room. Might be worth a look!

Yes, I know I already take contact with him. a demo will be somewhere in september. He wrote me last week and, he has the entire product line in his room. That's will be very helpful to see and ear Axiom products. Certainly I will post my feedback about it !!! not always easy to me to post in english).

AS what I think will be the first board member to have a demo in Ian's room, I'll thank you ahead of time for the effort of posting a review in English. My French has faded to dismal proportions since high school.

I believe a true Frenchman would revert back to one of it's original names, "l'Îles Saint-Jean."
