In Reply to: Wimpy NAD vetoed for MMG! How about ARCAM? posted by zdog on August 26, 2014 at 09:09:53:
It may depend on which one you have in mind. By and large, Arcam makes very good audio. I have yet to hear anything of theirs disappoint me. However, I have never heard Maggies with them. You'd have to ask Arcam if their current lineup is rated for 4ohms. (BTW, MMGs are pretty stable at it, hardly ever go any lower).
A former neighbor had an Arcam Avr 360 receiver hooked up to 5 mid-sized Paradigm speakers and his apartment rocked in surround mode, even with the subwoofer off. So, even with Maggies being less efficient, something like this could work. Like Satie mentioned elsewhere, the subwoofer could help unload stress from the main amps.
This was over a year ago. Arcam must have new models out...perhaps a 360, or higher, is out there looking for a new owner?
Do look into Anthem. Although they were kind of "behind" on the HT part when I last looked at them, their audio is always solid. They may have caught up.
Which reminds me, Emotiva is coming in strong into the HT arena. Can't say that they have what you need but if you look...who knows!
Anyway, we can always go check on your specific candidates.
