Greetings: I have the quintet microsystem with a KSW-12. My friend is selling a used Harman Kardon AVR-7000 for $600. Is this worth the money and further more is this overkill for the quintets? Should I go with a different receiver? Maybe one not quite as powerful? I don't want to spend money on a receiver and never be able to use its full potential because the speakers can't handle the power. The specs for the avr-7000 is posted below. Your opinions and replys are very much appreciated.
