Help on new HK receiver

[jdbwolverines]

I'm looking to buy a new Harman Kardon receiver. I really like HK's so I've been primarly looking at that brand (Dad always used them and love got based done to me). I've been debating between the AVR 435, AVR 635 and DPR 2005. The 435 and 2005 have been going on ebay for refurbs for about 450 to 500 or so while the 635 are about 550 to 600. What would you guys would think would be the smart buy? Thanks.

Go with the 435 or 635, or even the 630. The 2005 has had issues, and may not sound as warm as the class A/B amps (read the reviews). Keep an eye on that 7300 if you can budget out. Anything under $900 is a steal.

Thanks for the advice. I was worried about the 2005 also. Whats the primary difference between the 630 and 635? Does it still have all of the video upconversion that the 635 does?
