Being a moderate but not extreme HI FI enthusiast, has the time come when I can ditch my Naim pre/power amps and Hicap and rely on something like the ARCAM 350 to do both jobs....ie to provide an excellent cinema system but also satisfy my somewhat waning (too many kids
) audiophile tendancies.
I would certainly wish to listen to most of my CD and Vinyl (still the best!
) collection in 2 channel audio not pseudo surround (DVDA and SACD excluded).
Would I be dissappointed?
I know some will say go and listen but direct comparisons with my present sytems are going to be difficult and if I do go down this route my whole sytems wiring and placement will have to change. This would make even a home demo difficult. Both systems would go into top end Epos floorstanding/centre/rear and REL sub.
I have heard rumours that in 2 channel mode the ARCAM sounds rather dull!!!?
Any opinions?
