Hi all,
i've finally come to the conclusion that my Onkyo 805 just doesn't cut it with cd's. Due to the credit crunch i've sold my two channel system so i now need my av system to sound better with music.
I've seen an Arcam AVR 350 going cheap and wondered if that would be a good option. I see it doesn't support the bluray hd audio codecs which my Onkyo does. I'm going to replace my Samsung bluray and wondered if i bought a bluray player which supports the new hd codecs like the forthcoming Pioneer models would i then get the hd audio through the Arcam?
I've also seen Arcam Arcam DIVA AVP700 & P1000 going very cheap , would this be a better option? Ithink it may be overkill considering i'm only using satellite 5.1 speakers (Cabasse Eole £1400). My other kit is Pioneer 989 dvd player, Samsung 1500 bluray, Fujitsu 58 series plasma.
Also, how much should i advertise the Onlyo for? It's near mint and about two years old, i think i paid £900 for it?
Any advice/opinions most welcome.
Thanks,
Nick.
