I have the avr300 with a quad setup, 21L fronts, quad center and quad 12L rears and quad L sub, I auditioned a B&W setup, 805's' htm center and 805 rears and found the quads to sound much better, have a much better finish, and cost about half of the B&W's, as a matter of fact, the quads replaced a aerial system with seperates (krell), and sound as good or better, the arcam avr 300 is as advertised, it is as good as the reveiws claim,ps, the arcam has more power then you need, it lets you biamp the front speakers in a 5.1 setup. good luck
