You buy an Arcam make sure it was MADE AFTER March 2008, because we are replacing 100% of motherboards for units made before then due to overheating. Have 13 Arcam AVR2XXX-3XXX units in my warehouse waiting new motherboards since Sept. and customers are ticked to say the least.
Buy a used AVR 2XX-3XX and need the motherboard you are looking at $500-$700 in repairs. No Arcam warranty is transferrable, buyer beware.
NAD (we're warranty Authorized NAD, McIntosh, ARCAM, Nagra and Plinius) never seems to overheat, and you get 95% of the sound of Arcam for 1/3 the price and 10X the reliability (over the older Arcam).
Take care
