AV Receiver/Separates for under $2K


After a lapse in my audio investments, I'm back and looking for a 5.1 AV receiver or separates for ~$2K. Ideally want something that can carry both music and movies with a bias toward the music. Current leaders are Arcam AVR-360 (or 400) or Emotiva UMC-200 + XPA-5. Demoed the Arcam and it sounded great. Have yet to actually hear the Emotiva. Welcome any thoughts and recommendations.

Cambridge Audio Azur 751R A/V Receiver
Cambridge Audio Azur 650R A/V Receiver

Cambridge has prioritization of sound over features

Google the freat reviews (e.g. Soundandvision dot com has an excellent recent review)

I have the 650R in my discreet AV sysytem - terrific!
