Was in the market for the onkyo RZ50 until the Best Buy home theater guy talked me into this model!! …. I already knew of this model but didn’t know they came out with a new line up!’n only downside is he only told me feel the swiftness of the knobs… didn’t show me the menu options or what all it could do!!! Pure laziness !!! I may look like I don’t have money to spend… but I do!! But I won’t be buying it from them!’ That’s for sure!! Pricey as hell but worth it!!! Big leap coming from the pioneer elite!!’

I had a fire back in August and I had a Yamaha Z9 I lost . Never explored Arcam before but I love second hand shopping. Found a Arcam AVR 390 at a pawn shop for 500. I was hesitant but they said I could bring it back within 10 days. So I did that , and wow I'm blown away. So much so I'm looking at audio reviews to buy a more modern Arcam receiver. Idk for 500 bucks I'm impressed with my decision as the surround is mind blowing. The separation is ridiculous and even though it is supposedly 80 WPC has no issues powering my B&W's. I always want to get into separates but it's just a crazy amount of money to do all that. I think I can live with Arcam until I win the lottery 😅.

Finally pulled the trigger on these. Got the avr21 in last night and listened to just some Spotify and then firestick movies. So far compared to my old Yamaha v773 it's a night and day difference, and haven't even tried Dirac yet. Very clean and powerful sound. The only negative I've discovered so far is the unit gets hot near the top rear by the HDMI board after a while, and it takes like 40 seconds to fully boot up. Used it for 8 hrs straight and no protection mode ever came on so hopefully it's no big deal.

Hi Leon. Nice review. Being torn between Arcam & Anthem 2 years ago, I went with Anthem's MRX740 & AVM70 over Arcam's AV40. The one thing that stood out was your comment about the "Arcam Sound". What is it and how do you characterize it? I know how subjective this may be. But it must be better than just marketing. What makes it a better sound than say Anthem Sound? Please help us customers understand more. I am tempted to test out Arcam AVR11 or 21 just to audition its "sound"! BTW, is the AVR20 and AVR21 similar except for 4K vs 8K? I might try AVR20 instead for economic reasons.

Since you are using the Mark Levinson power amp you should just stick with what you have. The amps in the Arcams, especially the Class G amps are very good. But you have an awesome power amp already. Thanks for watching

Jeff, how are you making out? I also just purchased the AVR11. All the video, 4k, vrr, ALLM, 120fps seem to be working well with Xbox and PS5, the problem is the Dolby/DTS bitstream audio. Skipping for a second every minute or so. ARCAM says there is a FW update coming in the next week or so. If it clears this hurdle, would basically be a perfect receiver for me.

Arcam vs. JBL synthesis line? Specifically the new JBL SDP-58

@AudioAdvice 2 года назад

Great question. Same chassis and software. The 58 has slightly upgraded DACs according to JBL and includes Dirac Live Bass which is a $500 up charge from Dirac.

@zulkiflitew7779 Год назад

I am looking at upgrading my 5.1 system to a 5.1.2 Atmos set up. I currently have an Anthem Mrx 520 (fantastic sound). I have ordered an external 7 channel power amplifier to power the entire set up so the receiver will be running in full pre amp mode only. I am considering the Anthem Mrx 540 8k but I also am considering the Arcam AVR11. I don't have a way to personally audition these 2 amps to compare but would like some opinions. Is the Arcam sound a worthwhile step up from Anthem which already sounds great? Great channel by the way. Love your videos.

@AudioAdvice Год назад

If you already love the MRX520, it will be more of the same sound you already love with better detail, clarity, and precision. Especially if you are strictly going to use it as a processor. If you don't like to make a lot of tweaks and want it to sound great once it's calibrated, then Anthem will be the way to go. However, if you want to tweak a bunch of settings frequently, Arcam might be the better route, thanks to Dirac, and it would be a solid "step up" in that sense. If you are considering the Arcam, we'd recommend spending more on an actual processor like the Anthem AVM70 or Arcam AV41. Hope that helps!

Hi, great to see you again! I am ready to purchase after my Pioneer Elite SC-99 died. My main concern is the hdmi 2.1. I already have 3 hdmi 2.1 devices (PS5, XSX, and the new Apple TV4k. Will this work with those devices? Will it pass through VRR, 4K 120, HDR, Dolby Vision etc? Will it work with LG OLED? Very few receivers out right now that actually work as you know(despite advertising they do so. The Onkyo RZ50 is impossible to get right now. Really hoping the AVR11 is the answer. just want it to work! Thanks bud!

@AudioAdvice 2 года назад

That Pioneer Elite was a very nice AVR. All of the HDMI inputs are 2.1, 4K 120, HDR, and Dolby Vision, but we do not think they support VRR. Your better bet is probably to connect the two game consoles directly to your LG and use its eARC to get the uncompressed audio back to the Arcam. It does sound fantastic and is working great for us. Thanks for watching

@ole812ellie 2 года назад

@@AudioAdvice Ok, well I just ordered the AVR 11 from your store, and I will run some tests to see if VRR works with the XSX in the next week or so.

I'm interested in the Arcam Av41. But everything I've read and heard in the extra xlr inputs for subs are not independent but are wired in parallel. This compromises Diracs multisub eq effectivess from what I understand. Each input should be independent for volume distance and level matching etc. Do you guys know if that's true? Another reviewer mentioned it in his review. Hoping to get clarification. Thank you
