Thanks for the reply. Glad to see someone else has tried what I'm thinking. I was thinking as the arcam is an avr I must be missing something on the stereo front, when I get my new front speakers ( that will be first upgrade) that will give me a significant boost i think .

Hi folks, I currently run a 7.1 monitor audio rs6av package off an arcam avr600 av amp. Using a Cyrus cd6 se player. I am going to upgrade the fronts to the new silver 10's (keeping things sweet with the cinema setup). The avr600 is getting a bit outdated as far a receivers go, plus the niggles...

Has anybody noticed just how poor the picture is becoming on sky movies especially. When sky HD first came out it was comparable to blu ray, OK the colours were not all there and there was a tradeoff in sharpness but it wasn't a million miles away. Nowadays watching sky movies in HD is like a...

I miss the reviews of the high end av receivers, I remember the first year when the awards only went up to the 1500 pioneer lx81. Bring back the high end pre and power combos.

Hi, I was looking on seven oaks clearance section this morning and I believe I saw the package for £299. Not sure about your other questions but hope u get a good deal. :) Edit. Sorry its £399. Second page of clearance tab .

hi Breffni, When the LX81 came out i ordered one for home trial over my old denon 4306, and tbh i wasnt happy with the sound from the pioneer/MA (rs6av) combo. It did feel too bright and and seemed to not have enough 'guts', even after a long running in period and using different cables...

drat, sounds like a wasted opportunity to me. Oh well, best order that TCI coral now i know it wont be redundant when i get the new guide. Thanks for the info much appreciated.

Does the new software allow dolby digital over HDMI?

Hi guys, Just took delivery of my new arcam avr600, now i am after a dedicated cd player to make the most of it. I heard the Arcam CD37 in my dealers which sounded pretty good but maybe there is a better option at this price (cyrus?) my dealer only stocks arcam, quad, marantz and pioneer...

Hi every body, I was looking to upgrade my denon 4306 amp and 3910 dvd player with something more upto date. I am currently using Monitor Audio RS6 AV speaker package and Pioneer pdp-lx5080. One of my local dealers can offer me the pioneer package for 3k(no trade in), while the other can...

thanks spencer. Denon is cheaper than my cambridge dealers, pioneer works out slightly dearer after i factor in the bluray lx71. still wondering what would give me better pictures and sound (stereo and cinema). Pioneer bdplx71 and SCLX81 vs Denon 3800bd and avr4306. Thanks for your advice on...

Hi this is my first post. current system. denon dvd3910,avr4306, Monitor Audio rs6av, pioneer pdplx5080 plasma +ps3. I am torn between the idea of upgrading my dvd and amp to the pioneers mentioned above, as my amp cannot accept deep colour over hdmi and wont decode hd audio. or keeping my...
