Arcam AVR300 by leagues over the others mentioned. Great product. The AVR200 is an even better deal at about 600 used if you have speakers that will work with 70 watts (five channels only; not 7.1). I owned one for a bit and sold it as I wanted the 7.1 capability. I miss the Arcam and should have kept it as I will probably never move to 7.1. The wife is less than supportive of additional speakers.
What do I add to make my system HT ?
I run two channel PSB goldi with 5350se creek integrated amp and Mcintosh mc205 cd. Can I hook a surround processor or reciever into my existing setup and switch back to my 2 channel setup when I'm not watching movies. Any recommendations? What would you add to my existing system to make it work? thanks
