ML Vista speakers and Arcam AVR350 receiver?

[clavace]

I am putting together a new Home Theater system and have not found any dealers that carry both Martin Logan and Arcam in my area. I want the system to be very "musical" as I spend as much time just listening. I am looking seriously at the ML Vista speakers and have read wonderful reviews on the new Arcam AVR 350 receiver. I called ML and they have no experience with Arcam and advised I post here.
I intend to run the receiver in 5.1 which will allow me to bi-amp the Vista speakers using the remaining 2 channels.
Does anyone have any experience with driving ML speakers with Arcam receivers (either the new AVR 350 or AVR 300?
Thanx
:cheers:

Come to Austin! Our main ML guys really like the Arcam stuff and sell quite a bit of it! Audio Systems is the name of the company. I think you can find them on the web in Austin, TX on Koenig Lane. You could probably email them and get some thoughts from them about that combination.

+1... as usual, Pcar928fan is spot on... I bought my MLs from Audio Systems and I will tell you they ML sound AWESOME driven by the Arcam stuff... I went with Sunfire, but I will tell you, MLs and Arcam produce a quality sound.

Hi!

I'm curruntly using the Martin Logan Vista together with an Arcam AVR350, to great success. The amp has no problem delivering a great amount of power, and the Norwegian importer of Arcam has told me that de 350 is stable down to at least 2 ohm in stereomode. Reasonably good for a receiver, I would say.

Strongly recommended....
