Hi All,
I just wanted to write a quick blog to highlight our next open day held in conjunctions with Arcam, I have always been a big Arcam fan after falling in love with the AVR600 a few years back, yes it had its faults but it just sounded so musical, anyway Arcam have some great new products being released over the next month or so and this event will be the first opportunity to really see and listen to them.
We will have representative here from Arcam to discuss these products and we will have our upstairs demo room turned over to a cinema setup for most of the day using a PMC Speaker setup comprising of the Twenty.26’s, Twenty.C and Wafer 2’s for rears with a REL S5 for that .1 action. I may also have a SIM2 projector running if I can get it organised in time.
Arcam Solo and Movie are Back

First up Arcam are bringing back their ever popular Solo Movie and Music units, basically 2 products, one for the movie lover and another for music lover, both based on their excellent Class G amplification. The Solo Movie will have 5 x 60wpc to drive 5 speakers with a built in Blu Ray drive and will decode the HD movie formats and the Solo Music will have 2 x 80wpc for a stereo setup and will play CD’s and SACD’s as well as Network Streaming, the Movie will be priced at £2000 and the Music will be £1500, these will be on demo on the day.

Introducing Arcam’s new AVR Receivers.
Arcam’s last range of receivers really did prove very popular thanks mainly to their superb sound quality, there really are not many manufacturers nowadays that make highend receivers that are also musical, this is an area where Arcam has always excelled.
With their new receivers Arcam are saying that they really have moved the bar up to another level so I can’t wait to hear these, the new models are called the AVR550 and AVR850, both units are Atmos compatible and will for the first time for Arcam have very in depth room EQ system, prices are £4,200 for the AVR850 and £2400 for the AVR550.
The Arcam SR250 Stereo Receiver
Another interesting product that Arcam are launching is a 2 channel movie receiver for people who want all the features of a receiver but don’t want loads of speakers around the room so it caters for just 2 channels but at a very high level, the SR250 will cost £2500 and I can see this being very popular indeed.

I do have more details on all these products but didn’t want to make the blog too long so please do call if you’d like more information on any of the above, alternatively please come to the open day on November 28th to see and hear these products and discuss with the Arcam representatives, as ever we will have refreshments on the day.
Arcam Promotions!
Finally Arcam have a couple of promotions running at the moment, firstly if you trade in any disc spinner from any manufacturer they will knock £395 off the price of the UDP411 making it a steal at £600, and they are also running a loyalty bonus for customers with an existing Arcam amp where you can trade it in and save against any of their new Class G amps, prices below -
Purchase an A29 Class G amplifier for £845.00 (includes owners discount - £150.00)
Purchase an A39 Class G amplifier for £1,2950.00 (includes owners discount - £300.00)
Purchase an A49 Class G amplifier for £3,395.00 (includes owners discount - £600.00)
Anyway back to the open day, It has been a long time since we have done a movie event at HiFi Lounge so I am really looking forward to this one and to see and hear how the new Arcam products stack up.
Hope to see you on the 28th,
Cheers,
Paul.
