In Reply to: Arcam avr100....Any Thoughts? posted by Gandalfcrow on February 15, 2001 at 19:20:51:
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
Follow Ups:
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
