Dynamic and cohesive sound with no room correction, especially on music with no hints of listening fatigue. The following is just a summary of my opinions on each in my system in my room, with and without Room Correction:Īrcam 850 - Very solid construction, feels and looks like a quality product. Lyngdorf 3400 (in conjunction with the Arcam, Marantz & Denon, also tested with M&K 950 fronts)Īnthem 1120 (tested with ARC & ARC Genesis) Lyngdorf 2170 (in conjunction with the Arcam, Marantz & Denon) I've had extensive home trials of the following recently and also participated in a Room correction system shoot out at Gecko: I currently own an Arcam AVR850 and have done for nearly 3 years. I've also tried a PSA S1510 in my current system. Prior to that, I've had several Naim, Linn, Dynaudio, M&K combinations with REL & Velodyne subs at various times. For all surround use, the X10 sub is used with a crossover of 80 Hz.įor what it's worth, my previous system was a Meridian 568v2/558 processor/amp set up, which I had owned for nearly 10 years. For stereo music, I typically don't use my sub, running my D7s full range. For me, sound quality is as important, if not more important than picture quality. I watch/listen to 50% Music and 50% Movies and own a substantial amount of Concert Blu rays as well as SACDs and DVD-As. My system is 5.1 comprised of Spendor D7 & CR3 (Centre) fronts, M&K CS29 rears and a M&K X10 Sub. I think you know quite a bit about my experiences over the last 4-5 months, but here goes.
