    Arcam AVR-250 or Rotel RSX-1056?

    I'm looking for a good sounding receiver that will provide clear dialogue(without sibilance) when watching movies and years of headache free operation. I had originally intended getting the Marantz SR-8500 but am afraid that it's sound might be too warm(muffled) for my tastes.
    I have, in the past, owned some high end stereo equipement(Threshold, Audio Research = spoiled ears) but am new to the AV scene.

    I have not heard the ARCAM AVR-250 but we have the 300 in one of our showrooms. It is incredible. I can't say that I have heard it a/b'd against the Rotel but ARCAM makes some very, very fine products that you'd achieve every bit you are seeking.

      by srusmantijo
      Hi folks,

      I'm looking to replace my Denon AVR 3300, which starts giving me intermittent audio problems. I have B&W Nautilus 804 and HTM2, rated at 50-200W. I have seriously considered a Rotel 1057 until I auditioned an Arcam AVR250. 8O

      I have auditioned both Rotel...

      As a recent Arcam purchaser, I hope this is good news:

      A Cambridge hi-fi and home cinema innovator, taking on and beating Japanese consumer electronics giants, plans to leverage its growing international reputation following a management buy-out.

      Will a Marantz SR8500 power 700s?
      by Verinnal
      Is anyone here using an SR8500 to drive B&W 700 series speakers. I'm going to be auditioning 600s and 700s this weekend based on stunning reviews and recommendations. I'd rather not disappoint myself and listen to the 700s if the 8500 won't be enough juice to make these sound good. The room will...
