    refurb HK good idea?

    I purchased a HK 525 from harmonaudio.com that was refurbished with factory warranty. The unit arrived in pristine condition and worked fine. Nice sound with reference setup (IMO). I sent it back within the 30
    day return period & bought a 7200 from audiogon for more power. I did have to pay return shipping.

    Rotel or B&K multi-channel amp with RF-7

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Hi guys

    my audio knowledge is very limited. This forum convinced me to buy the 7's (L-C-R) & h/k 7200. I use old kc-1's as rears & a svs 2039pc+. my room is 18x16 hardwood on slab - typical home living room.

    60/40 movies to music & I prefer 5.1 music over 2 channel. ok :

    I really like the sound i'm hearing but I guess i'm looking for a little more clarity (detail) if that makes sense. I don't hear any harshness some others complain about so I don't no if dean's mods would be a significant benefit to me. Would it help if I add a used 3 or 5 channel amp? Maybe a Rotel rmb-1075 or whatever B&K's = would be. My budget is about $750. I will replace the h/k with a pre/pro when I can afford to. I suppose a Rotel or B&K because some here say those mate well with the 7's. Am I even on the right track? Which amp & later pre/pro would you suggest?

    I have searched every audio forum & thread I can find. To me this forum is far superior. You guys should be proud. I learn about audio here & members are respectful. Thanks for any help.

    Kj5dq is correct. Audio Express in Searcy does have a

    dedicated HT room

    with nice equipment. They handle the full Klipsch line. For you Arkansas guys it's probably worth the drive as they will deal. I read this forum for about 2 months and decided to ante up for the RF-7's and RC-7. Thank you forum members for all the advice and knowledge.

    I asked (Danny) to

    price match the unauthorized internet stores and he did. He even let me

    take home a Maple setup while my Cherry was being shipped. May just have

    been small town service but they earned my business for life.

    Don't know what antique here means but I remember reading 20 yrs or so ago

    his house was broken into and a pair of klipsch taken. Ole Billy had a cabin

    on the lake about 30 miles from me b4 he got all famous & married what's her name. By the way she got the Little Rock condo in the divorce. This being my first night to post I thought I would practice.

    I have lurked around here for 3 months. I searched harman kardon avr every night. The comments convinced me to buy the 525, especially from m00n. Purchased from harmanaudio.com (don't know how to add link) for $430 refurb.

    They have a 630 available with 30 day return policy. The 525 is warm with my rf-7's & rc-7 I have had for 2 weeks. Makes me wonder about some comments that rf-7's are harsh on top end. Read on other boards. Anyway, I saw & bought an hk 7200 on audiogon last week for $640 just because I figured at $2000 list it must be better so I returned the 525. Both units have plenty of headroom and are very warm but the 7200 has more power. I won't buy another receiver but I may go seperates eventually. I am certainly no expert & if this post actually makes it to the right place it will be a minor miracle.
