Anthem vs Arcam

The new model processors offer features that you don’t need (no more than 7 channels, no need for 8K, no need for XLR). I would not recommend the AVM 70 as you don’t need all of those features. The Arcam processors also offer features you don’t need. Would you consider getting a 5-7 channel receiver with pre-outs and not using the included amps? Another option would be to get an older processor that includes 4K HDMI but is limited to 7 channels. Here is a receiver with preouts:

@kota1 thank you for the recommendation. I started looking at that model and then was scared off after looking at this review:
 

I am no audio expert so I cant tell if this review is looking at things so far down in the weeds that its "splitting hairs" between various processors or is something to make you weary of any amp that does not rate really high. 

The guy at that website tests equipment in a bare walled room that would sound bad no matter what. I posted that as an example. You have many receivers like this, try Anthem, Marantz, Denon, Yamaha, etc. Here is a link to compare:

we sell both brands the arcam is made by audio control

the audio control sounds the best and has the best service the anthem 70 is far superior to the older 60

we have a demo avm 70 if you are interested
