Arcam AVR300 or Denon 3805

Anyone seen any reviews or have any personal experience of either of the above surround sound amps? In the (hopefully-not-too-distant) future I'm thinking of upgrading and wondered if anyone had any thoughts.

My priority is musical playback though I want good movie sound too. Any advice will be appreciated.

I'd suggest doing searches over at avforums and the Hi-Fi Choice forums. No disrespect to anyone here, but you're talking about some reasonably serious kit here and there's more specialised knowledge there as they are dedicated forums.

If your priority is musicality, go for the Arcam, no question!
I've got an AVR200, which is great for music, and the 300 is supposed to be even better.
Their dvd players are pretty good at cd playback too.

cheers for the advice. That's more or less what I thought. I was thinking of buying the DV79 as well but it can't play SACDs. Do you think Arcam will bring out a fully universal player ever?

Haven't heard about Arcam making a SACD compatible player, but the DV79 does dvd audio (DVDA)...
