In what way does it perform better than the 16 channel version? Ignoring it just adds more speakers, i.e. has anything else changed?
 
Is your install with the Acurus now complete mate?

Nope! Haha. It's a flat renovation so just doing the bathroom then it's good to go to get me and the system moved in. I'm really liking the dARTS so can't wait to unleash it a bit more. It's an old 1950's build block so lots of thick concrete walls and floors between me and the neighbors. I just have to manage sound leakage into the stairway but should be ok to run it at a decent volume.

..... I've already warned the neighbors

The Muse is interesting, does this have a uk price yet ?
 
Interesting, so a little ahead of the £4-5k range but not in the £10k plus category
 
If it sounds anything like the ACT 4 then its a bit of a bargain.

Neil made a good point in another thread about the sound difference between the ACT 4 and Storm Audio processor. The Storm sounds excellent, I've heard it a couple of times, really fast and pinpoint sound steering. But, compared to the ACT 4, it does sound a bit clinical. The ACT 4 is very natural sounding. Steering is very precise, its very dynamic and transparent, but also just sounds a little bit more natural.

If the Muse is in your budget and floats your boat I think it would be a great buy.
 
I’ve just ordered the MUSE...
I’m super excited, coming from Marantz, then very briefly Emotiva rmc1 (died straight out of the box) I’m really hoping this will be something special.
Been without any processor now for a few weeks & the Acūrus doesn’t show up until next month....
I can’t wait
