I've owned one for about two months now and I am really happy I got it. I think receivers are a lot like computers nowadays. They are all pretty good and it's the little things that make one product more preferable than another. HK has a really good rep for sound and reliability. I can attest to the 335 really improving the sound in my HT. The EZSet+ works great. IMO HKs are the best looking receivers out there. I was also attracted to the company for their honesty of their power ratings. There is a lot of debate about other companies (Yamaha, Denon.....) not being honest. I feel they are NOT. Not that don't build great products, it just disqualifies them to me.
The vibe I get from HK is that they spend more energy building quality stuff and less time with 75 chinsy DSPs.
One little annoyance: The receiver does not up convert everything to component and the onscreen menu does not work through component. Still I does not matter to me because I like to have different setting on my TV for my DVD, Xbox, VCR, so I prefer to switch the TV input anyway.
