Hi, my HD580 is on the way and I am wondering if the AV receiver, say Arcam AVR100, will do the HD580 justice? Or do I need a delicate amp like PPA to drive it? It will be used mainly at home. Thanks.

Have you tried your PX200 on your receiver? If it sounds decent, chances are it will sound even better (at the very least, less noise and more precise volume control) with your HD580.
That said, I've yet to hear a receiver or an integrated amp that sounds as flat as the distribution amps or dedicated headamps I've heard. So I'd say it depends not only of the quality of your receiver's headphone output but also on how much your care about such nuances. Anyway, one could certainly enjoy an HD580 without a fancy amp.
