Home Theatre Newb here.
75% movies 25% music

Speaker budget is about $1300, thinking about Ascend Accoustics, but can shop these after I get the Receiver.

Considering the Marantz 5600, Harman Kardon 635, Denon 2807.

I could use some input on what people think about these Receivers.

Heard a bit about Denon and HK, but not any reviews on the Marantz.
What about the sound?
Remote?
Upconvert?
Different level settings for inputs?
Renaming inputs?

Any other good information or experience?

Really sack...they're all good receivers....I think the HK is abit better for music myself (and that's a maybe)...The Denon is just a great all around receiver and it's really hard to go wrong with it!

HK 635. Where to get a good deal on this one?

Here is the list of authorized dealers on HK website.

Beam, while 6ave claims to be an authorized dealer, they're not on the list.

Digital1234.com will ship it to me for $575.

However, I can get it from J&R for $600 shipped and they're on the list. I'll probably go that route.

Unless anyone else can spot a nice deal for me or give me advice on sales or something. I just don't want to get stuck with buying something and not having the warranty be honored.
