Hi
My Arcam has finally died and although I like the sound of the 2nd gen Anthems, I was holding off for the new range. Now more details are out I'm not sure I need most of the new features: I have a Kuro 428XD so 4k is of no interest, no way I'll be allowed height speakers so Atmos/DTS-X is out. Given that I'll still be running a 5.1 system (with biamped fronts) I don't really see the point in stumping up the extra cash beyond future-proofing and I don't think that alone is enough to warrant it. Only the new version of ARC seems to give me anything, and possibly that will become available for the x10s as well?
I gather there have been a few issues with the 2nd gen, but are they enough to have put owners off the x10 range entirely? From those who have owned a 510 or 710 are you still happy with your purchase a couple of years down the line?
Cheers
