AcuDefTechGuy- wow; how about three of these babies

Just came across them in an Audiogon HT thread. 150 watts into eight ohms; 300 watts into four ohms. Matching tuner, CD player and amplifier all only available in Europe.

Will give HK a call here in Woodbury to see if the units are going to migrate here.

Holy Batmobile! That looks 100% AWESOME!!!!

And you know that 300 watts of HK power = 400 or 500 watts or something.

Man, oh man. And I totally love Harman Kardon too!

Why didn't I know about his amp before?

Oh, wait, so it's not even available in the US? No wonder I didn't know anything about it!

Most amplifiers are rated for all channels driven power. Unlike most other manufacters, however, HK rates their receivers for all channels driven power, hence the lower numbers. The HK amp should be comparable to others in the 2-300 watt range.
