If you are going to spend that much money, why not wait for this?

For that money, I think I'd take the HK 7300 and save $500. I was ready to spend $2000, and the more and more I reseached, the more I found out there is not that much difference in receivers. If you need power, you are better off going with a spearate amp and receiver combination. I was about to buy a separate two channel amp, but after the Polks and Denon had broke in, I really don't need one. I am so glad I didn't buy the HK7300 at $1399. The Denon 3805 at under $800 was a much better buy. Actually, if I had waited, I would have got the Marantz SR8400 at www.ubid.com/cat/get_cat_page.asp?CatID=3871&PgNum=1 for under $600 and been tickled pink. That's just too much to spend on a receiver IMO.

Go with a used B & K

Zumbo,thanks I agree with your comment,but you guys seem to know alot about the topic.If anyone has a suggestion in that $1000-$2000 range speak up.I really do want the Input.The speaker topic(i will save for other threads),but rest assured i will look into other avenues.

Buy a 507 B & K used for about $1400 to $1700 on Ebay, retails for over $3000, street price of $2700. Built like a tank, will have the series II upgrades out this fall for you to install through your home computer. This will put you in the major league's (like seperates) and you get a solid ten-twelve years out of the build quality. Remote is fantastic. Many will have 2-3 years left on their 5 year warranty. I have never seen a single bad review of the unit or any B & K product. Designed, built, and customer service right here in the USA. No HDMI, but unless your changing all your components, whats the difference?
Just my opinion, I may be wrong.
