Arcam vs. B&K

hello, all. I am considering a receiver around 20K. And the names that came up most often in this price range are Arcam and B&K. Which one is better? I am using JMLab 9 seires speakers as main and surrounds in a 27 sqaure meter room. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on what your priorites are. If music is more important I would recommend the Arcam, but if HT is more important I would probably get the B&K.

Overall I would recommend the Arcam. Features, looks, music performance, resale, etc.

I have the Arcam AVR350 and can tell you the sound reproduction is stunning. It is feeding a pair of maggies (1.6QRs)and is truely the most musical receiver I have ever heard even with mediocre sources. Add a quailty source and is pure magic.

Have you looked at the Rotel RSX 1067? Does not have HDMI capability if you are looking for that, but it has a great amplifier; provides that punch when you really need it, and on 2 channel listening, the amplifier is definitely audiophile quality.

IMO the Rotel is not in the same class as the Arcams.
