I WAS THINKING ABOUT REPLACING OLD AV SYSTEM SO SPEAKERS FIRST I REPLACED 15 YEAR OLD INFINITY UNITS WITH ENERGY B-1 TOWERS 5DRIVER CENTER CHANNEL AND 100 WATT POWERED 12'' SUB. THIS MATCHING 5.1 SYSTEM WORKS WELL WITH YAMAHA RECEIVER RXV 480.BUT THIS I CHOSE TO REPLACE WITH THE MUCH LARGER H/K PIECE.HOW MUCH LARGER? THIS NEW UNIT IS NEARLY TWICE THE SIZE. THE ALL STEEL BOX IS 24''x 24''x 8''! THE TOTAL WEIGHT IS ABOUT 40 POUNDS. THE HARMON / KARDON AVR IS VERY ATTRACTIVE,WITH GOLD PLATED CONNECTERS BINDING POSTS AND HEAD PHONE JACK. ON THE FACE IS A HUGE DETENTED VOLUME KNOB AND A LARGE CONTROL AREA THAT SHOWS FUNCTIONS IN BRILIANT BLUE CHARACTERS.FINALY ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE THERE IS LOCATED NEARLY EVERY FUNCTION SWITCH IMAGINABLE.THE SOUND IS ALL ONE COULD WISH FOR WITH MORE THAN 25 DRIVERS AND NEARLY 500 TOTAL WATTS OF CLEAN CONTINOUS POWER.ALL THIS CREATES A FULL RICH SOUND STAGE. WHICH TRUELY BRINGS TO LIFE ANY GOOD SOURCE MATERIAL.Read full review
Solid power and clean, full sound. Although it doesn't have THX or any of the newer features you can find in newer receivers like video upconversion, it produces great stereo performance and convincing movie effects. All in All - great value for the money.
i was very leery about buying this reciever as some of the units had problems. i was lucky that i had a honest ebayer, the unit works perfectly and the sound is amazing. if your looking for a good dolby digital reciever on the cheap, picking up one of these units on ebay will fit the bill and you will pay less for it then the junk recievers that are on the market today.
HK is the best high current amp period
