I just saw audiotroy's post. Looks like the Arcam and AC units are not the same. Audiotroy what do you think of the receivers made by Arcam and AC? For example are the AVR850 and AVR550 a good solution for maguiar? Are they different from the Audio Control 9 and 7? In the end would he get better sound from separates where the processor and amp have different chassis, power supplies, isolation etc. or from a combined unit where the amp is designed to work with the processor and there are no interconnect cables, cleaner signal path etc.?
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
Hi All,
I am new to this forum and have a few questions in reference to HT processors. I am starting from scratch and switching from a Krell S-1000 and S-1500. I sold the processor a few months back and I going to list here the amp.
I am currently considering the new Bryston 9B3 and the SP4 and decision was based on upgrade ability and warranty. The speakers for HT will be Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home and for 2 channel Verity Otello’s. My second choice was Classe but I was informed that they have all sales on hold, this is concerning. I have not listened to either, my choice is based on reviews and the Bryston dealer. My decision was also based they are both good for two channel, I am not set on this but it will help the budget and space. I am looking for a warm and good over all sound; some might say 3 dimensional sound, clarity is also a factor. Actually, all I’ve read in reference to Classe fits the bill. I would like a couple of other choices to include in my short list and opinions are welcome. The budget for the processor and amp is approx. 22k.
Thanks to all.....
