    Topping (class D and B) vs Arcam and Rotel (class A/B)

    I am wanting to upgrade my system but i am still not sure to go class A/B or class D. (or even class B it seems) The amp is going to be paired with PMC Prodigy 1 speakers and the SVS SB-1000 pro subwoofer. So i want to see your opinions and reasons. :cool: Which AMP/DAC combo would you prefer...

    Opinions on putting together a used high end 3.1 speaker system w/ amp and receiver

    Hi everyone, I've been researching high end speakers and amps for a couple weeks now, and honestly it's overwhelming. I'm not super technical so reading reviews and trying to understand the charts just confuses me. I've gone to a couple shops to demo speakers and amps in person but they've...

    Frankly, it's hell to choose an AVR

    Currently I have a Yamaha RX-A2060 for home theater and a Primare stereo amp for music. Due to lack of space, I would like to replace both of them with a new Home Theater AVR. It's really hard to make the right choice. When I go to listen to an AVR, it is each time in different conditions (room...

    New here looking for help: Deciding between Marantz vs Denon vs. arcam avr20

    I’m new here and just rebuilding my home theater system. Just purchased 3 KEF in wall ci5160RL for front stage and 6 in ceiling KEF ci200rr 8 inch. It seems that Arcam was the winner for sound so I bought the AVR20 and just realized it can only power 7 speakers. Looking at the Marantz...

    Can anyone modify an Arcam FMJ CD23 ?

    I don't know if this topic belongs in the DAC forum or the DIY forum but I'd love it if someone out there wanted to try to mod an FMJ CD23 to function as a stand-alone DAC via asynchronous USB. I have access to the technical documents and I'd be willing to pay quite a bit. Some have said...

    Arcam SA20 versus Cambridge CXA81

    I am currently testing the Cambridge CXA81 with my Revel M105 speakers and have fallen in love with the sound. However I hate the ergonomics (the display is useless, the remote poor, etc) and it is enough to give me an ongoing annoyance. After looking at the Arcam it resolves most of the issues...

    Is the Arcam rhead still relevant in 2022

    I currently have an Arcam rHead but am thinking about a change. Wouldn't want to spend more than about £500 so I wondered can the Arcam be bettered now in 2022? I'd like a bit more power and perhaps even balanced output rather than just balanced input but i'd also want an improvement in the...

    Please help me choose

    Hello guys. I’m on a tight budget around 3000€-3500$ for an integrated amp. Last days I searched hours on this forum and YouTube and plenty others for different amps reviews. Somehow I started in mind with 1 model amp and ended up with even more models and more dilemmas. As for speaker i’m very...

    AVR Decisions - Anthem, Arcam, Denon, Yamaha...?

    Hi, folks. As a few of you might remember, I've recently bought a 4k UHD television followed by a Panasonic DP-UB820 player. I'm in the process of designing a new equipment cabinet in an attempt to overcome my wife's objections to the tendency of AV black boxes to procreate when she's not...
