wheelman Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I have an onkyo for my main receiver i heard the 601 and own the 501. I just bought my brother the hk 65 used. I hooked that up to my klipsch's and i was shocked at the quality of music that came out of that receiver. I am hk fan forever. Onkyo's sound like crappy entry level sony's compared to that older hk. I just can not beleive how smooth and it is. I just wish i bought it for my self. Damn i never heard my horns sound so smooth and detailed never fatiguing. I can't turn it off or give it to him and he want's it tonight. I have yet to hear a denon with my klipsch's. The sound has got to be about as good as gets for my taste. I'm scared to get a denon and then have to sell for the hk. I am defenitely getting a different receiver now i know what hk sounds like with my klipsch's. It sounds just as good as seperate audiosource i hooked up to my old sony. And that sounded great just different tastes. I got my money on hk from now on unless i hear a denon sound sweeter. I think i may have found the sound i have been searching for close enough. To bad they still don't make them. I watch pirates of the carribean it sounded great. One catch crossover is 100hz to the sub. I had a hole their with my sub at 80hz and it still sounded good. I have to set my sub and check it out before giving it up. I don't know if i can go without that sound now. Onkyo just seems lame now. I can't beleive i am even saying that. But hk is that good for my taste. I would love to hear denon though. Denon or nad just may change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as good as that was, then I had to go and hook up a B&K Reference 200.7 amp (using the Denon as a pre/pro). As a result, I am $3,000 lighter in the wallet , but holy $#!+, that sound! Un-friggan-believable! How about this - let your brother have the Onkyo and you keep the H/K . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 No i wouldn't do that to him i am pretty honest. I told him i would buy it for him and i did. I got it for 200 dollars shipped to. It ways like thirty two pounds to. I got him a pretty good deal and i was happy to do so. I am listening to my onkyo now it isn't bad just don't have that sweet sound. Does denon have just a sweet sound and warm and full. Because i can get them cheaper than hk. I was thinking of getting the new hk 330 or the denon 1804. But to get a good deal on the denon their is know return. I know the hk throws a heck of a soundstage. I think the amp is equally as important as the speaker. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
