I read in a Consumer Reports that a Panasonic Receiver $199.00- $259.00 beat out the HK's in overall quality and performance. Is there anyone who has some feedback on this.
I will hold judgement until a "real" audio magazine tests it. Consumer Reports probably uses the same FTC tests as the manufacturers do. It would be interesting to see a low end Panasonic beat even an H/K AVR-130. Only time will tell.
Did they even compare the Digital Panasonic to the equivalent H/K DPR series? That's comparing apples to apples.
