harman/kardon AVR 125 5.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: Good build quality, great sound, many inputs
Cons: No component video pass-through, complex remote, low power rating

Harmon/Kardon is a brand that I consider to be in the upper levels of consumer electronics. In terms of amplifiers and receivers, it’s not up to the level of Mark Levinson or Carver, but a Harman/Kardon is a step above your typical Kenwood or...

Pros: Good sound replication, attractive looking, versatile, generally inexpensive.
Cons: Power is a little lacking. Difficult remote

I have now owned this receiver for almost two full years. It replaced a Sony stereo receiver that quit on me right after the warranty ran out. The Harman-Kardon has served me quite well these past two year. Although it doesn't have as much power as ...

Pros: Power ! User friendly. Great sound. Plenty of In's and Out's. Massive.
Cons: Tricky remote. Bad rep on AVR110's. No Speaker A/B. Loose feeling volume ctrl.

At first I was looking for a Home Theater in a box. Then I understood that I could get an A/V Receiver with better speakers for abit more. Finally, I found a pair of beautiful speakers, The Wharfedales 8.4's with a "8.center" unit.(I will put a review on...

Pros: clarity, ease of use, spdif digital audio connections, THD .07%
Cons: big? too many unnecessary lights?

Pros: Top notch sound quality, attractive styling
Cons: None.

The great thing about h/k is you can get the same great sound from their base model that you can from their upper tier.

The thd on this thing is an immaculate less than 0.07% !!!

It's hard to find anything lower. what that means is that you get crystal clear sound with no distortion no matter how high you crank it. Don't let its low wattage fool you, h/k makes highly efficient discreet circuitry amplifiers, it doesn't need a lot of power to provide exceptional sound quality. Another thing that gives Harmon Kardon its edge is its physical beauty. In a land of big black hulking monstrosities, its brushed aluminum finish and pretty blue lights are a welcome relief.

Overall by combining aesthetic design with superior sound quality, Harmon Kardon provides a top of the line receiver at a reasonable price.

Pros: great product for the buck
Cons: none

This product is the most quality piece of audio equipment that i have ever baught. I really like its sleek design and it really puts out a really top notch sound.
