The lowest cost Cambridge receiver is twice what the H-K costs, and doesn't include a DAC or any network stream playback features.

The Cambridge electronics might be somewhat better, but it's unlikely anyone could hear the difference on those $230-per-pair Elac speakers.

Don't get me wrong- they're fine speakers for a small system, but they just don't have the kind of resolution or drive requirements that would make audible any differences between the amplifier sections of these two receivers.

So, for no discernible improvement in sound quality, the Cambridge offers less capability for twice the price.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
