Denon make some superb amplifiers with that sound that I like...can't explain it...they are jsut very musical! Very much the same as the ol' JVCs...then again, I'm a bit of a fan of Japanese Electronics (JVC, Denon, Marantz)!

It was a good deal...or so I thought! Don't worry, I'm willing for it to break under its 5 year warranty...badly...so I help it along by sticking the CD player right on top of it and then shoving it in a cabinet with half a mm of room each side of it...and then sticking two pairs of speakers which are a lower impedence than it can take, and then I play it really loud...

Oh my poor A-X5...how it sits there wanting to be played with its HUGE volume dial which is far too loud at even 9 o'clock on MM phono...I must find some use for it!

Oh and on the last day of school when we have a rock concert, I took it in and hooked it up to some MASSIVE JBL PA system speakers and it played them bl@@dy well!

Dont start that one again, I was winding you up.  You get to love your Arcam like you love an old, worn in pair of slippers, a cosy sort of way, a life in the slow lane ...

Seriously though, its certainly not a bad amplifier. 

I know, I know.
