But, I get the impression that most folks here are more orientated towards movies rather than music.
I'd say that's an incorrect impression.
Ditto. There are many music fans here, but there is a strong voice of the group that believes there is almost no difference between budget AVRs and high-end AVRs. I'm not sure yet. But I do note that the Arcam lacks many of the features of the Denon 4310 - Dolby modes, Audyssey, name-brand upscaler, etc. If the Arcam sounds better, then it does, but for the price gap it better sound noticeably better, not just a touch better at certain places. And the Denon 4810 should be available for $3000 whenever it is ready. Wonder if it will "sound" better than the 4310.
