It has now been months since I have started using my HK to drive my Vintage Klipsch. I have absolutely never been happier with the sound quality. All of my fellow Heritage series friends have since upgraded to the HK receivers with none of them feeling disappointed with the switch. HK gets it right here.

I have since added a pioneer SG 9500 equailizer. combined great with the HK.

After losing my Denon AVR 1908 receiver to an unanticipated electrical fluke (buzzing and turning off) issues, I searched the internet for a replacement. I read numerous reviews about other Denon and Home Theatre receiver customers who had experienced similar electrical issues after unreasonably short receiver lifetimes, so I decided to give up on the 7.1, 5.1 Home Theatre Hype. The sound my Denon pushed to my vintage speakers was mediocre and not very pleasing to the ears. I decided to search for a good old analog 2-Channel stereo to push my 1974 Klipsch LaScalas and 1970 Klipsch Heresys. After a couple of minutes of searching I found many reviews on the Harman Kardon 3390 and 3490. Because my speakers have such a high sensitivity db rating, I decided to go with the 3390 which cost 209.00. Four days later it arrived at my home. WOW! What an unbelievable sound that this receiver delivers; crisp highs, warm midrange and an unbelievable sub output. It is the closest sound I have ever gotten to the old school tube amps. I definitely would recommend this receiver to anyone who is searching for the perfect 2 channel receiver for your vintage speakers. The two sub outputs are just a bonus.
