Aug 27, 2002 7:07 PM | | The closest thing I have heard to an audiophile A/V receiver would be the Arcam. It is very detailed & fast. It isn't tube like at all. Give it a listen if you want detail. Arcam also has excellent CD players. If you want something tube like, I don't know what to suggest, unless maybe Yamaha. They tend to lean toward the warm side or roll the highs off some and the bass is fat sounding. |

Here is a link that may provide you with useful info, http://audioholics.com/Staff_rev/receiver_hotpicks1.html
To the above and the previous post, you might also check into the NAD models which should be in your price range.

It's generally very highly regraded for it's sound quality.
Adcom is another good choice. |
