In Reply to: Upgrading HT Receiver. What sounds best? posted by JerryS on December 15, 2007 at 11:59:52:
The Arcam is hands down the best sounding receiver out there to my ears, especially if you've got concert DVDs or you're going to use it to listen to music.
For the money, the Onkyo is great on the video side, but not nearly as good to my ears on music as the Arcam. It sounds plenty good enough for most people on movie soundtracks however. It's OK for rock but I did not like classical and acoustic music through it. I have classical and opera CDs and listen to music often through my HT system so sound is key to me. Since my HDTV doesn't have HDMI imputs I could care less about the video side. I do like the Onkyo over comparable Denons et al. I haevn't listedned to the latest Pioneers, but I always lean toward manufacturers that produce high quality audio gear rather than mass market HT lines.
Being a music person and coming from high end audio, I've been most pleased by Aracam receivers and Cary separates for HT with great sound and real world pricing. AVR350s crop up used on Audiogon regularly.
Just my 3 cents and YMMV.
