Customer Ratings & Reviews

Outstanding unit for home AVR. Best in class decoding. Extremely low sound floor. Plus, this also plays 2-channel stereo like a $5k unit. Arcam is blowing away my expectations. Can run up to four subs on this unit. Definitely add an amp for harder to drive speakers. Dont go without the Durac sub control upgrade.

I came across this receiver while window shopping and noticed this model that was $600 off, open-box +/_. After looking into Arcam I was sold. Product came in pristine condition and performs beautifully. As others have mentioned it is not for the beginner, unless you enjoy digging into REW and learning about what makes some better than others, it may not be for you. This is my 3rd receiver and still consider myself very much the noob but learning its capabilities is half the fun for me.

Purchased unit alittle complicated to set up definitely not a novice unit or plug and play .Getting dirac installed was a adventure did all the work and microphone and avr wont communicate.Sound was better hooked up to Kef speakers I wouldn’t recommend to a novice,

I absolutely love my Arcam AVR11! Listening to music on it is a pleasure—the sound is rich and full, like it’s made just for my ears. For movies, it’s equally amazing, making every scene feel immersive and powerful. I’m genuinely pleased with this purchase; it’s everything I hoped for and more.

This is great for the price (got it on sale). Listen to it at Best Buy while I was there to purchase the Yamaha A6A. The salesman, then played the Marantz, along with the Yamaha. This clearly sounded better than the Yamaha A6A. An marginally better than the Marantz C 30. I was sold, sound better and half the cost. The two reasons I'm not giving 5 stars is the appearance & the on screen display.

The Arcam receiver provides exceptional high fidelity music that will satisfy the person seeking a great music player from a surround sound home environment unit and the quality of surround sound dialogue and overall Dolby Atmos sound is excellent. Now the bad news, the receiver is really temperamental and regularly does not respond to remote control input requiring a reboot of the receiver manually anytime you have not turned on unit for more than 48 hours while on standby. In addition, the unit seems to have occasional difficulty processing switching over from Cable to Apple TV or any other devise you may connect to them receiver, The problems with the unit working well with basic mainstream components such as cable box is really a problem for such a high end unit and I will likely end up returning the unit despite great sound quality when it does work, Arcam engineers really got to go back and figure out what issue is and fix it,

Arcam AVR and integrated amos have very good sound there is no doubt about it, they are pricey and not easy to setup also, reading the reviews i was mentally ready for issue to myvsurprise i didnt encouter any, setup dine in 45 minutes, the FW was latest and no need for update, web setup took few minutes only, for earc from Tv maake sure eArc is output to 1 and cec on, smart tv will switch avr to display input automatically and dolby atmos or dolby digital will be availble, sound is incredible with clarity and sepration between channels. I got is on sale price but without sale price is high for most people, for me power is plenty i am using two fronts with Parasound halo a23 plus amp. Have not done dirac yet, no issue with hdmi swithcing between Blu-ray and Appletv. I am very imoressed with sound qulaity specially 2 channel music

Love this receiver. Just bought it on sale for over 1,000 off and I’m thrilled. I had the Avetage A2A and had nothing but handshake issues. Got tired of it and found this on sale. I have an Arcam two channel integrated and it sounds incredible in my man cave. This one sounds just as good and movies are incredible. I have it set up with 4 KEF Q350’s a KEF center, and two SVS Pro 1000 subs. And a Sony 75 inch. For my theater room. Absolutely stunning for a 5.2 set up. And 4 channel stereo sounds incredible as well. Tough to set up if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Sonically, this unit is amazing. The remote requires some effort to learn all the capabilities of this receiver. Had issues using Dirac live, so i am anxious to hear the improvements once it is dialed in.

This is great, it sounds amazing, and the Dirac room correction is amazing. Highly recommend. It does take some research to set it up, but it’s worth the time.

When it works, it sounds amazing. For me it intermittently cuts out the sound to my speakers. Am in the process of trying to get Arcam to replace it. Got this open box in “excellent” condition, but I’ve had problems. Unfortunately I’m beyond the return window from Best Buy. Also, not a very user friendly interface. Sounds fantastic, but glitchy for me.

I have several units in my home. I own McIntosh as well as Anthem and I was initially very skeptical about the Arcam brand and more specifically this unit. I paired it with Martin Logan ElectroMotion and a great Martin Logan center channel ane a few B&W satellites in my loft area and love the results.

Love it. Worth every penny. Picture on my 98” Samsung is great and the sound through my old Polk speakers improved a ton. I was getting ready to upgrade the speakers for $3500 bit can hold off for now.

Used it for 2 channel and 2 subwoofers for music with wiim pro plus streamer. Excellent sound. Clear and bright. Really enjoyed all the details in the music I was playing.

Great sound, better than what I’ve had for 20 years (P Elite) but a little complicated in setting up

Fantastic receiver for the Martin Logan electrostatic speakers. If you cant afford a mcintosh (like me), this is the way to go.

I’m happy with this choice that I made. I stepped up from a Marantz with Klipsch speakers to Arcam with KEF’s.

I ordered an Arcam AVR11 in “excellent” condition, and it arrived with zero accessories and scuffs and scratches all over the cabinet. Returned it immediately, so I can’t rate the unit. Extremely disappointing for Beat Buy to state the condition of “excellent” units and deliver one that barely meets their definition of a “poor” condition unit. Never again! I went elsewhere and purchased a similar unit. Beware!

Definitely a good upgrade from my prior reciever. Well worth the money.
