Frank1938 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi and good morning. If anyone has any experience with the Harman Kardon AVR-354 receiver, I would love some feedback from you. I'm getting mixed reviews off of the web. Much appreciated. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuyOtherSoundEquipment Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I just set up an AVR-354 the other day. It's a very, very nice reciever, and sounds excellent for home theater and music. I would imagine the reviews revolve around source switching or the like. The first one that the person bought that I was setting up would not properly switch video resolutions for HDMI. They exchanged it and the second one worked with no problems. As far as I know it isn't a wide spread "defect" or anything, but some features can be buggy. I would recommend it simply because of how nice it sounds, and hopefully you won't run into any issues. What speakers and equipment are you using?

I found it on Amazon.com for $518 with free shipping, a really good price and HK approved dealer. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
