Watch our Comparison

Arcam has been well known for making amazing sounding stereo gear for decades. Audiophiles have always respected their passion for audio with their two channel components always getting glowing reviews for their sound quality. Their top of the line receiver makes our list as our very best, but don’t overlook the AVR11 at roughly half the price of their top of the line AVR31.

The AVR11 has a much larger power supply section and power transformer than you typically see in a home theater receiver. This is obviously apparent when you pick it up and feel its 37 pounds of weight in your hands. The Class AB amps sound remarkably similar to those you find in the Arcam stereo amps, which is saying a whole lot for a home theater receiver.

Playing back your Hi Res music files will be a delight with the Dual ESS 9026PRO audiophile DACs with ESS reference voltage regulators on board. It even supports MQA and is Roon Ready. Of course Airplay2 and Chromecast are built in as well, and Arcam’s MusicLife app works great for most of the streaming services. Bluetooth is also top notch with aptXHD.

The great thing is, you do not give up anything from a home theater feature standpoint to get into the sound quality of the AVR11. As a matter of fact, you get all the latest with 7 8K HDMI inputs, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro 3D and Dolby Vision.

You also get future expansion flexibility. You can simply add a 4 channel power amp to the AVR11 and use its 12 channels of processing power to go to a full blown 7.4.1 immersive Dolby Atmo system.

For room correction, Dirac Live is built in, which is one of the very best on the market.

But what puts the AVR11 on our list is its sound. If you are the type of person who wants to get into an excellent home theater system, but also cares dearly about your 2 channel audio, the AVR11 is the perfect choice. You have future expansion options, one of the best room correction systems on the market and world famous Arcam two channel sound.

Outstanding integrated amp with superior audio

Compared this with Denon, Marantz, Sony ES, and others at Magnolia and in my living room. The Arcam AVR10 is the hand-down winner for pure audio enjoyment.
