    Question Arcam AVR11 or AVR21

    I'm looking to replace my faulty AVR550 with a newer Arcam unit. I think the AVR21 would be a natural replacement but is it really worth spending the extra £1K over the AVR11? I'm only running a 5.1.2 set up and that's not likely to change so I don't need the extra output capabilities of the...

    So I've got an AVR550 that has generally been a nightmare. The folks we paid to set it up did a good job with the Dirac setup - when it doesn't get "lost" - but it keeps losing the ability to play any form of high resolution audio. Right now it's back to playing DD 3/2.1, DTS 3/2.1, and that's...
