Anonymous | I am looking to purchase a new receiver. I am more concerned about sound quality than about overall power. Right now, I have the Onkyo 500 speaker set. Thus, I will have to add another rear speaker to take advantage of the Onkyo 600. I have tried both of these receivers out at CC. The sales person there was pushing the H/K. I also have read several reviews on each system, all of which have been pretty good. I am looking for some input to help me make the decision. Of course, pricing is a factor to consider. However, looking at various retailers, there seems to be only a $50 difference between the two sets. |
| Anon, Yes, I'm a hardcore HK fan )owning a AVR525 and loving it) but don't take just my word for it. Here's CNET's review (they picked it as an editor's choice award...primarily for it's sound quality). http://electronics.cnet.com/electronics/0-6342373-1304-9907515.html? Good luck, -h1pst3r |
| Oh, the CNET review is for the 225 not the 525 as may have been implied in my earlier post ;-) -h1p |
