Judging by the first reviews it's looking like a very musical AVR, could we...could we. Over on ASR a member has ordered one and it will be reviewed and measured by ASR dude. Be interesting to see how the electronics stack up compared to similar priced stuff. By the way same site, someone else had issues with Arcam and it's implementation with DIRAC, couldn't get it to sound good, ended up with a Denon with Audyssey, bit of tweaking he said it sounds far superior in his room. Maybe its an Arcam software problem with DIRAC
