I felt guilty wanting to get away from separates and go to a receiver just to clean up the cables and gain a smaller footprint, until I listened to an Arcam 300. Now that it is in my house, I ain't never 'goin back. The reviews are right, it isn't your imagination, this thing blows away any receiver, and I don't think you can come close at two to three times the price with individual units. Those that criticize have not listened to it, or are swayed by the price, which I at first thought was high, but they probably think it is too low to be any good. Now I realize what a huge bargain it is. It's two channel analog pass through mode made my tube preamp and solid state amp sound like a Bose Wave radio in comparison.
Which Reciver?
I'm new to the HT scene and am in the process of setting up a small system. Room size is 17' x 19.5', I purchased the mythos 1 speakers with def tech inwalls as the rear surrounds. I was thinking about the Rotel 1067 until reading some of the posts. Now thinking about the Outlaw 950, Arcam AVR300 and NAD T63. Any advice or other receivers to consider?
