I don't speak from a position of great experience or expertise but having spent several hours auditioning an A19 this weekend alongside a Rotel RA 1520 I was not impressed. The first thing to strike me about the Arcam was how much better the bass was than on the A18, much tighter. Regrettably...

Deacons Son by The Barr Brothers Give Out by Sharon Van Etten La Bomba from the CD Canciones y Ensaladas All massacred yesterday by an Arcam FMJ A19 in comparison to a Rotel RA 1520 which had my feet tapping :)
