The five-star Arcam AVR31 will boost your home cinema sound for less, thanks to this massive saving at Peter Tyson
If you’re looking to bolster your home cinema system, you’re likely considering adding an AV amplifier into the mix. It’ll power your speaker system, acting as the control centre between your TV or projector and connected devices. Simply put, it’s a pretty important component for any audio- and cinephile.
While there’s a variety of great AV amplifiers available within the AVR space that we’ve had the pleasure of testing, Arcam has carved itself a well-deserved spot amongst the well-known audio brands. And fortunately, we’ve got some pretty great news for you if you’re in the market for one of their products.
If you’re looking for a high-end option, Peter Tyson has a very impressive discount on previous What Hi-Fi? Award-winner, the Arcam AVR31. We’re talking about a massive £3000 saving, dropping to just £2499 at Peter Tyson. While you can join up to their VIP Club, which is free and quick, you don’t have to in order to secure this saving.
What we love about the Arcam AVR31 is its ability to combine high-class sound and connectivity features into a sophisticated and premium amplifier. It’s why we gave it five-stars even when it was priced at £5499. Now, with Peter Tyson’s saving, you can pick it up in a price range similar to its cheaper siblings while still securing a premium model. In fact, it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen!
With seven channels of power amplification and up to 16 channels of decoding, it’s capable of processing audio for systems with configurations up to 9.1.6.
It boasts wide-ranging audio format support, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D, as well as Dolby Virtual Height, DTS Neural:X and DTS Virtual:X for systems without height speakers.
There's nothing lacking from the AVR31's connectivity spec sheet either with seven HDMI 2.1 inputs and three outputs, all capable of handling 8K video signals at 60fps and 4K at 120fps with support for VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision and HDR10+. One of the outputs also supports eARC.
And when it comes to sonic performance, the AVR31 prompted our expert testers, who listened in Pure Direct mode, to say: "If future-proofed features are equally as important to you as having the very best sound quality, and your pockets are deep enough, then the AVR31 is an ideal choice to make your home cinema sing."
It’s certainly standing the test of time considering we gave it a What Hi-Fi? Award back in 2023 and are still more than happy to recommend it. And we’re even happier when we see it drop to prices like this, down to just £2499 at Peter Tyson, a whopping £3000 saving on its launch price.
