It's an excellent solution for a combo music/HT experience. The digital nasties are totally switched out and isolated when the amp is running in analog mode. It has surprising resolution and openness for a HT piece, but then it's from a real audio company and not HT specialists. The pre-pro is very good and the amps are quite clean. I wouldn't purchase a "better" receiver because it's not really cost efefctive to do so at that price point - if you go beyond this you really need to go separate 2 channel.
I had an AVR 300 which was a very nice musical experience paired with my Nola Minis and Thunderbolt sub. The 350 is much better than the 300.
Was the Arcam as good as my Cary, Herron, Alon V main two channel system? Noooo, don't be silly, and I wouldn't have put my 4k CD player with it necessarily, but it was very satisfying on its own terms.

- Actually, the Arcam AVR350 is rather a nice sounding piece. - Harmonia 05/20/0822:18:04 05/20/08 (1)
- I'd second that - as good as many mid-price dedicated stereo amps. [nt] - chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com 09:43:19 05/21/08 (0)
