Hi,
I have been reading this for months, and this is my first post. I just recently bought a H/K AVR520 form Fry's on sale for $469. It would not have been my first choice, but seems like a great receiver for under $500.
So far, I only have it hooked up in Stereo to Cornwalls, and soon will be connecting an Academy center and pair of Heresys for the surround speakers.
Most things I have listened to so far sound way better than my old cheap Pioneer receiver. I have noticed that in a few songs, cymbals seen very harsh. Will this likely smooth out with some burn-in of the amp, or is this a problem I will need to figure out how to address?
Thanks in advance for any opinions/advice.
