Took the plunge today and after much listening and consideration ordered an Arcam AVR 500.
Reasons behind this were the fantastic price (over £1100 off,as it has now been discontinued), sound quality, dont want 3D or internet radio and never use additional features.
I liked the AVR 400 but felt the amplification was slightly cleaner on the 500.
Fingers crossed that I will not have over heating/software issues as apparently they have all been resolved in the later models.
What blu ray player would you guys suggest? It has to be sacd capable and sound qualiy is my main concern. 3D not an issue.
I have considered CA 650, Marantz SR 5005, Oppo 93
Budget £500
