Bah, I'm going to demo it and the denon again - with a bose AM15 setup this
time, since that's what I have, so that's all that matters.

Too many ppl (myself included) have been surprised at my liking the denon
over the Arcam, so I'm thinking either:
The denon suits the sub/sat combo better....OR the idiots set it all up
wrong....OR the speakers were just shite :)

Going to my old nemesis, MI on Sat hopefully - at least I know they do the
bose kit....
