I'm reading nothing but fabulous reviews on Arcam's finest AVR. It certainly has peeked my interset. I wonder if NAD's T785 would give it a run for it's money. Any 1st hand listening for either of these two AVR's. Curiousity sure is a ****.

"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

These AVR's have peaked my interest as a possible replacement for my B&K AVR 507s2. I keep seeing inconsistent specs, with some listing the 700 as having 7.1 analog inputs for my SACD player, and some listing it as not having analog inputs. My HT is where I have a SACD player for the occasional multi-channel audio experience, and would like to retain that.DKG999

I think you're confusing the Anthem AVR's with the Arcam AVR600. Two completely different animals. The Anthem line has no 7.1 analog inputs. I believe the Arcam AVR60 actually has 2 / 7.1 inputs."2 Channel & 11.2 HT "Two Channel:Magnepan LRSSchiit Audio Freya S - SS preConsonance Ref 50 - Tube preParasound HALO A21+ 2 channel ampBluesound NODE 2i streameriFi NEO iDSD DAC Oppo BDP-93KEF KC62 sub Home Theater:Full blown 11.2 set up. -
