Arcam SR250 - Pros & Cons

delivers a tremendously consistent performance almost regardless of volume level
logical and easy enough to follow and the range and off axis performance is very
The remote itself is a solid piece of kit
Dirac implementation has been most effective here
build is solid though and the green on black display is clear and easy to read
affordable and value-packed products
excellent Dirac Live correction
the dynamics were excellent
Arcam stacks up reasonably well with my NAD M2
Advance Audio Australia over a very formidable contingent of suiters
Very nice future proofing with the 8k inputs
a sophisticated room correction algorithm
The bass sounded more tuneful
and the central image was more positive
powerful
crisp
and tight
pure
smooth
and dynamic
warm
rich
yet very clean with tons of dynamics
SR250 is built very well with a simple and clean exterior
The sound is smooth and sweet with all of the details and great dynamic punch
great system the guitars on this sound spectacular
simple and easy to use
backed-up with a decent array of digital and line-level analogue inputs
Detail levels are improved too

the bass response of the speakers might be significantly curtailed
the sound is more uneven and has a slightly ragged feel to it
their stereo systems do not require this functionality
AV receiver without surround is a pointless undertaking
It may not display this or other websites correctly
clipped signal error
lack of DSD support came as quite a surprise
Dirac only detects signals via USB
it simply as a scaled back AV Receiver
it is not converted to HDMI
Very noisy Making good audio very very difficult
his dialogue got lost within the mix
Sony TV not surprisingly does not have component inputs
Denon does NOT translate component to HDMI internally
no surround channels and no preamp outputs
Dirac system did not breathe heavily
The sound was drastically altered when Dirac Live was activated
Circuitry is
Dirac not only addresses frequency problems caused
the output devices are turning on and off
the output devices turn off to reduce heat build-up
it had only been available in home theater processors
home cinema gear is limited compared to the US market
