Here's a review from E-Town taken from www.aslgroup.com - The US distributor for Arcam.
Arcam AVR100 Dolby Digital/DTS A/V Receiver
When I first saw Arcam's gutsy "Home theater that doesn't suck" ad for its AVR100 A/V receiver in Stereophile magazine, my heart swelled with joy. Could Arcam, one of Britain's top-selling high-end audio brands, really produce a receiver that totally decimates its mass-market competitors? Not quite, but the AVR100 is right on target with home theater-curious audiophiles. Take it from me, this thing performs that well.
The AVR100's innards look high-end; there's a massive toroidal power transformer and eight vertically oriented daughter boards. This bad boy was designed for music lovers; it bypasses the digital signaling processing (DSP) in stereo mode, so analog music signals aren't messed with. The AVR100's dynamic range control lets you dial in just the right amount of compression, which will be great for late-night viewings of "Saving Private Ryan."
