Ive heard nothing but bad about harmon kardon. I dont like they way it looks, the knob feels, how it looks or preforms. Alot of peole like onkyo, but i find it to be ok… For a cheap reciever, ive allways used Yamaha. But id prefer the onkyo over the harmon in this case.
What do you plan on driving with this? For any set of real speakers, the 145w or whatever my yamaha is rated at is nowhere near enough. It struggles to get some decent bass response. But thats what you get for a couple hundred bucks…
