Arcam make some bold claims for their latest AV receiver, the AVR750 7.1 and the specs certainly look impressive. They launched the new receiver at the Munich High End show and we went along to have a bit of a listen in what was definitely one of the most lively rooms there.

• 4K (UHD) video compatible including upscaling

• 7 HDMI inputs,  2 HDMI outputs, ARC compatible

• Auto setup with room  correction

• Class G power  amplification

• On board PSU for rSeries accessories

• Ethernet, RS232  and  IR control

• Free  iOS control app

Charlie Brennan the MD of Arcam says the followint about it.

“The AVR750 is, quite simply,  the  highest performing AV receiver Arcam has  ever made. The  AVR750 is an audiophile product by any measure. Equally at home with high resolution surround sound or two-channel music, the  AVR750 delivers stunning realism with everything from heavy-weight blockbusters to your favourite concert video.

The power amplifiers within the  AVR750 are perhaps the  finest ever seen within any AV receiver. Power delivery is both clean and  tight  against a background noise level that is astoundingly low. Listeners can  expect to be enthralled from the  opening sequence to the  final encore!”

We had a listen to the new receiver at Munich High End show on Saturday and, whilst we’re not usually great fans of A|V set ups, were very impressed with its performance through some KEF E series loudspeakers.
