New member Username: Elitefan1Post Number: 24 Registered: 12-2003 | Have you considered or tried to find a closeout on the H/K 525? That would give you last years equivelant of the 630 at a bargain price. You can also find closeout prices on the 7200 for under $1000 at several sites. I believe I've seen it for $899 which is a real steal for such a powerhouse. H/K is a good pairing with Klipsch, by the way. |

Just a bit punchier amp with better watts output and even better headroom for instantaneous needs of power when required. The subwoofer control is a biggie if you have different speakers in the front and back. You can then individualize the crossover to take advantage of each speakers best suit. I know the 630 has virtual headphone jack--important to some, needless to many. It, the 630, seems to have better DSP's--dual core 24 bit DSP's. If I was driving 4 ohm speakers I would get the 630 and if I had different speakers I would get the 630. I have 2 pairs of Monitor Audio Gold Reference G10's--hence that feature isn't a bigie for me. But many have special surround speakers and even other brands --then it has a big use. |

New member Username: HeffPost Number: 4 Registered: 12-2003 | Some people think, more power, bass management for 6/8 direct channel inputs, HDCD, mutiple digital outputs, and a heavier power supply are worth the difference, other's don't. Let your ears and wallet be your guide. You can check out the H/K AVR differences here --> http://manuals.harman.com/hk/Product%20Information/SEPT2003BROCHURE.pdf and learn about HDCD here. --> http://www.hdcd.com/ and the search engine! http://www.google.com |
