Going into this review, we weren’t quite sure what to expect from the Harman/Kardon AVR 3700. On the surface, it has a good mix of today’s relevant features, excellent power capability, and a smart ‘n sleek design aesthetic that is uniquely...

I am very disappointed in this product. I had a pair of nice speakers after removing my old stereo system and thought this would be a good way to play my music. Unfortunately, it sounds like my iPhone is always at the border of bluetooth reception. The...

Not worth the money, no matter how cheap (and that's the word for it!) it is!!! Lasted all of just TWO WEEKS(!) I had it set up (correctly) by Geek Squad, on December 22, 2015, at an added cost to me of $150.00 over and above the price of the unit (the...

Many systems now days do not include a phono jack for record players. And even when they do sometimes the power and sound quality is very weak. I solved this problem by buying a mixer with a built in Equalizer and also a stand alone EQ to boost the...

Very happy after using it for two years. Can easily program remote so that it replaces all the tv/dvd/etc remotes... allows for great sound and video pass through. Would recommend it.

These amps are not made anymore. See you how to find them in the use section or the classifieds. I'm not sure exactly how hard they are fine but if you can find one for a decent price and I highl...

Although it lacks some conveniences found in other flagship A/V receivers, the sound quality of Harman Kardon's AVR 7300 never disappointed me. I was blown away by the dynamic power of this receiver. With all of the DVDs and CDs that I threw at it, it...

Musician's Friend, ~ $90I was looking for an inexpensive, small CLEAN amp suitable for practice and living room jams - and it delivered! Construction is very solid - they made this amp inexpensive by making it simple, not cheap.Lack of output...

The M3 is not only an excellent integrated amplifier, it is an unusual one as well. The distortion measurements did not change much between 8 ohm and 4 ohm loads, which means the output tended not to move into areas that the power supply could not...

If you are on the market for a good tube amp that has two moderate low gain but usable gain then this might be the amp for you. However I would never buy this amp since its made in Mexico. For the ...

Purchased new in late 1994; around US$1200.Two channels and a footswitch (so I\'m not a boutique-purist-know-it-all-snob, big deal). The reason I bought it originally was the wide variety of tones, not least of which was the high gain second channel....

The Vox Brian May Special VBM1 is an awesome amp to use in the studio! I haven't used it for live shows but would still probably recommend only using it in the studio as that seems to be where it ...

This is a real gem of an item. With some efficient Speakers it'll really fill the room with rich beautiful sound. For the size it's mind boggling. Add to an ipod dock and you'll have a wonderful barely visible hi fi system. Build is where it's lost a...

Marshall has seriously got down he tubes in recent years...no pun intended. Their amps has a bland cold tone that sound harsh and flat whether its in your bedroom playing or even on stage. I have p...

They don't make them like they used to. I had just purchased the Onkyo 809 which was wonderful unit when it worked. This 5890 will just about blow any other receiver in its dust. It is very powerful and clean sounding. Dolby digital and dts digital...

The internal complexities inherent in surround-sound processors make them especially susceptible to noise and distortion. Adding the right shielding and better parts usually aren't in the budget of an under-$2000 processor, and you can never assume...

Just got this at a 2nd hand store a few days ago. In the past, have had some very good, but never any Very-High End, audio eqpt.; so, I bought it because of the reputation of H-K and needed a little more power than my Onkyo TX-80 for my Polk R15s. When...

Another fine budget amp from the specialists in that field – but we’d pay a little more for the best
