Harman-Kardon AVR-255 review

We're left feeling rather frustrated by the AVR-255. After wowing us with its looks and features, it falls short where it matters the most: sound qual

None really at this pricepoint but could have done with 1 more HDMI port (up from 3), USB input & wireless PC network link, perhaps even a phono input.
