- Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 2 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)

Arcam AVR21 Best In Its Class
Hands down the best home theater 7.2.4/ 2.0 stereo. This arcam integrated amp is a power house. It makes my bowers 800 series sing. I definitely recommend this item.

Arcam Avr21 - nice balance of cost and performance
Open box.. great receiver but need to be a tweaker as the setup requires knowledge of audio encoding and speaker setup and placement. Dirac Live worked great but also requires some YouTubing to get it done. Happy with purchase, great sound from music tracks. Has enough power to drive inefficient speakers.

Excellent Sound
This is an excellent sounding receiver... definitely an upgrade from my Marantz 6015, which is good in it's own right. There are a few features that are not as user friendly as my Marantz, but overall not deal breakers. Arcam is pricey, but I purchased on sale (20% off) and I think it's a really solid value for what you get. One recommendation I would add is to NOT update the firmware unless you absolutely need to. My initial unit was glitchy (perhaps from an immediate firmware update) so I exchanged it and started fresh. For some reason a factory reset doesn't roll back certain firmware. I would also recommend bi-amping the main speakers. The settings easily allow you to toggle between bi-amping and standard, and the former sounds so much better. I'm definitely a believer in bi-amping now and my Bowers & Wilkins speakers sound very impressive.
