ARCAM AVR600 Reliability Issues
Have been advised by Arcam in UK that the AVR 600 is in need of several updates on firmware and hardware. Do not buy this unit until you have verified that it is ENTIRELY up to date.

Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help-
Thanks to all for your input-spoke with Richard briefly yesterday--he stated that at a minimum, with the Quatros, the VCC 2 was what he recommended. He did not feel that the VCC 1 was sufficient for these speakers or even his 5A's-----so, I'm goin...

Thanks for the input--of course, sound is the most important criteria. Haven't spoken with Richard yet, but will--as he has always helped with discussions regarding his products--- 
Ayon Triton-Speakers? like Quattros, but---
