Which Reciver?

How does the AVR250 compare with the AVR300 in 2-channel?

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.

Not to burst the Arcam bubble, but I auditioned an AVR300 and a NAD T773 and there was little difference to my ears. In fact, I thought the NAD had a warmer sound. Just my 2 cents.
