I've owned an Arcam receiver from this line before and it's very impressive for sound quality. This is probably going to retail well into the $5K mark as the FMJ line is rather high-end. I don't know if I'd pay the money for it.
What does an amp really do for sound quality besides provide sufficient power to your speakers? Blind A/B/X testing has failed the more money = better sound paradigm in amps.
But sicne this thing is a receiver it'll pack some nice DACs which will improve sound. But I'm not sure you need an Arcam FMJ to get that. If you have the money it should rock!
