Jay481985 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 well since this is a stereo receiver I guess my question is better served here. Anyone have them? Comments? concerns? I think it provides wonderful specs and sound, I heard them for an exception price. Basically it is the same specs in wattage and thd etc as the 7.1 systems just made for stereo. Most people say they have good experiences with HK in general, so does anyone have it as it costs 250 dollars..... I think people will have preconcieved notions....

wuzzzer Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I just bought one on eBay for $175 buy-it-now. I too thought the specs looked superb for the price. I'll post how it comares to my 10+ year old Sony unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I can't believe you revived it but I have it on my rf-83 for now and I think they sound wonderful for the price and they have good bass. I remember a few others have it and they commented it was good. I think someone had them and then brought a set amp and said the sound sucks now......

arfandbark Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have an H/K 3480 I'll sell, Jay. Bought it new. It's served me very well. I happen to like the sound of vintage receivers better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 For those of you that have an HK3480, what kind of adjustments can be made to bass/treble/loudness/etc? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 there silly knobs that can adjust + or - 10 db no loudness button but there is vmax which supposedly makes the stereo into surround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks Jay. Any idea what frequencies the bass/treble knobs boost/cut? Also, have you tried the Vmax setting at all? Seems to me it would be a better feature for movies than music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I find it unnecessary on the treble knob as it only makes it sound harsh on the rf83. The bass I think it starts around 120 hertz and so. It does make the midrange a bit hot so it might pass 120 hertz. To be honest, my speakers I doubt need it so its middle. When i change it I usually bring it back in a few minutes or the next time I listen to it I would be what's wrong? oh the knob........ I use the bass knob at -10 db at night listenings. The Vmax is better for movies as for music it sounds like the music is being reflected all over which it is! But for movies its ok. It does boost the db a bit to compensate I believe. Also bass and treble is boosted, think eq V ed. It is most akin to creative soundcards the crmss or whatever it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
