Marantz vs. Arcam


I've just become aware of Arcam's latest offerings of HT receivers like the AVR5 and processors with DiracLive (sometimes optional). 

I've heard their integrated amps in the past and have overall a good impression but never an HT component from them.  Can anyone comment on the general sound quality, especially for music when compared to a Marantz?

I agree with your marantz & arcam comparison. The Yamaha is great too with very good eq possibilities. Also the Yamaha i'm told has better reliability as told by my installer. 
 I'm an Arcam user & but recently i heard the anthem receiver. It sounds much better  to me , better resolution , bass & coherence ,
Should be certainly considered .

All the best 

@erik_squires Hey! Anthem does have a room correction software. Although not sure how it compares to Dirac in the Arcam.

Guess best to stick with what ones comfortable with. 

Cheers 

 

@erik_squires ok.

I didn't personally have to bother with the setup, so no clue on these details.

Just sharing what I heard. 

Cheers
