Rotel Rsx-1055 or Arcam Avr-200

[Don]

Just wondering if anybody have tried both of these receivers. I listened to each at different dealers and just could not make up my mind. Price wise they are pretty close (Rsx-1055 $1300 and Avr-200 $1200). Will be used on B&W 603's.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

I haven't tried the arcam but Rotel and B&W are desgined to work very well together. So I'd say between that, the 5 year warrenty, top not customer service and our club Rotel for group support why not go with the Rotel. Now after reading that what was the first thing that went though your mind? Was it yeah I like the Rotel or was it a "but I wanted the Arcam" instead? Basically what I'm saying is both are likely excellent so go with what your gut tells you
