I will be taking a look at the avr100 this weekend. I am actually thinking of going with this over a parasound 855 amp and a not yet purchased preamp. I want to go simple. or at least this month.
This receiver is awesome. I have listened to Marantz, Denon, Onkyo,etc..and this one blows the doors off in terms of musicality, and realism. It may not have the balls of the higher powered receivers in terms of wattage, but does have clarity and presense that should please you for quite sometime. I highly recommend this unit. No bells & whistles, just music

Any thoughts on arcam avr 100 vs Rotel rsx 972 or 965? Heard the Rotel Rsx 972 and thought it sounded awesome!
Gandalfcrow, the answer is most definately yes. The Arcam AVR100 is the most musical receiver I've ever heard in it's price range. In fact, I had a Marantz SR7000 which I thought was very musical, but when I heard my friends Arcam, I knew I had to sell it and pick up one of these babies. I recommend that you audition one if possible. It doesn't have the highest wattage out there in it's price range, but I feel that it had plenty of power in reserve. It puts out about 90 watts per channel in 2-channel mode, around 70 watts per channel in 5-channel mode. I'm still breaking mine in, but it has already impressed me with it's sound. I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions about it just let me know.SW
The thing I have noticed with most HT recievers is when you want to really crank it to that obsean level(with some Metallica or Zepellin), they falter. What about the arcram?
Gandalfcrow, I don't generally crank up the Arcam too loud as my neighbors would have my head. I listen to OLD Metallica and a lot of Pantera and Megadeth, as well as Zepplin and others of that era. I do not find that the Arcam loses it at higher volumes, as a matter of fact, it seems to relish turning up the volume. Again, it all comes down to what you want and need from the receiver. I think the Arcam wil serve you well, and if you add an amp later, it can only get better.SW
