I use a Harman/Kardon Signature 2.1 5 x 100W amplifier. Personally, I am a HUGE fan of HK amps, and I love the sound. I have Monitor 9v2s, CC-370 and Bose 201's for the rears (yes, my rears are the "weak" part of my system).

Thanks for the info, Tom. I sent him an email addressing a couple of minor concerns. I'm anxiously awaiting his reply. If I recall - you're the one with the loud hiss problem, right? I watched a movie last weekend with my room unusually silent - all computers and all fans off. I could not...

I've read so many rumors, and I'd just like to truly know if this so-called software rev 2.12 really exists for the H/K Signature 2.0. I've got 2.10a, which was supposedly the latest rev when I bought it from Harman Audio last summer. So my questions are: 1) Does it exist? 2) What is...

I love my system. Even though my H/K signature 2.0 has its quirks, it's still the best piece of stereo gear I've ever owned (especially since it's paired with the signature 2.1 amplifier). It pained me to sell my previous H/K AVR 5, which was also an amazing receiver for the price. I've got...

Tom, I've had the Signature 2.0/2.1 combo since the middle of the summer, and I do indeed know what you're talking about. I hear the hiss, it is audible. However, it does not get louder with increases in the volume, and goes mostly unnoticable unless I'm really listening for it in a dead...

Oops, you're right, I should read posts more carefully. :b

Some of the v.3 line is already out, I know my CC-370 that I bought a couple months ago is.

I bought a Signature 2.0 Pre/Pro and Signature 2.1 Amp from them over the summer. The Signature 2.1 died on me after 24 hours, but they were very helpful, and even advance-shipped me a new one UPS overnight (must have cost them a bundle, the thing is quite heavy). They also included a call...

Thanks for the answers. It does seem like during those moments it's just pushing a lot of air through the port.

anybody have any thoughts?

I've got a Paradigm PW-2200 for a dorm HT, and I absolutlely love it. It manages to still put out a clean accurate sound, even in such horrible conditions as a 14' x 14' cement box of a dorm. Anyhow, for the first time ever I heard the sub reach its limit tonight...I think. I turned off my amp...

Well it's been sitting this way for a couple weeks now. I only use the thing for a few hours a day usually. I'll be rearranging as suggested after work today. I would think with the ventilation slots on the bottom of the amp (sitting on top of the preamp) things would be okay. I haven't...

Interesting thing I noticed today. I have a HK Sig 2.0/2.1 Preamp/Amp combo that I recently purchased. My question concerns heat. Funny thing is - it's not about the amp, but rather the preamp. For my current situation, there's really only room to stack the two. Figuring the amp would throw...

I've owned 4 separate pieces of HK gear and have been very happy with them. The occasional "issues" that I've brought up on the forums relating to my Signature Series HK amp/preamp are just trvial stuff - overall I love the gear. HK has a very sweet sound, and I'm a huge fan of it. I've heard...

Bill (and others), Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm not going to get exactly what I want unless I spend $1000+, which I most certainly don't want to. My system is good, but not worth that cost. I've got the Signature 2.1 amp and 2.0 preamp, Toshiba SD-3108 DVD, 27" Panasonic TV, Paradigm...

I'd be fairly confident it's just a dying neon bulb. It happens in pretty much all AC power switches, and won't affect you at all, unless the flickering bothers you.

Bill, is that Monster HTS3500 MKII the same unit as the first one in my links? I don't see any on Monster's site that have the MKII designation. Only problem with getting the good deal is it takes several weeks for delivery (don't know why?). Hopefully I'll have it before I get back up to my...

Dave, I don't, but a family member does. I don't have access to any more info than anybody else. Personally I think most of Monster Cable is overpriced and overrated. If these things turn out to be unreliable, even the discount isn't worth it and I'll go for Panamax or something (though...

In relation to my previous thread about my preamp's noise floor, I'm strongly considering getting a power conditioner. I've heard good/bad about Monster Power, but there's another factor in my case...I am able to buy any in the line for 60% off MSRP, which is a *significant* push towards buying...

I don't see myself getting rid of it, but perhaps it's just a problem w/ the unit being defective, and I want to exchange it if so. Besides this hiss, this unit is stunning. While my previous HK AVR5 seemed to have a lower noise floor, it didn't even come close to the sound quality I'm getting...

I've noticed a bit of hiss with my new HK Signature 2.0 preamp/processor. It's slightly noticable at a 5 ft listening distance. I took out the trusty SPL meter, and at a distance of about 0.5" from the tweeter of a Paradigm Monitor 9 I get about 52 dB (the meter only goes down to 50). This...

Okay, I'm getting reassured then. The citation sounds nice - but I'll probably stick with the HK as I can get it for probably $400-500 on eBay through Harman Audio (w/ 2 year warranty) Little quirks like I've heard mentioned don't really bother me. Tim - what software version are you...

I'm having a really hard time making a decision on whether to buy a Signature 2.0 pre/pro to go with my HK 2.1 power amplifier. I've searched the forums, google, audioreview, and pretty much everything. The problem is that I'm getting conflicting opinions - some people love it, some people say...

First semester at college I had the dumbass roommate from hell. I hardly trusted him with anything of mine, and as a result I had no home theater. I'll be going up for my 3rd year in a couple months, and this is what I'll be bringing: 27" Panasonic TV SD-3108 DVD Player Harman/Kardon...

Just an update... My speakers are fine. Tested a bunch of music yesterday and carefully listened...no noticable problems. I doubt any damage was done. Called Harman Audio today. They're going to cross-ship me another amp, and I should have it by next week. I'm pretty confident all will...

Just joined the forums today, though I've been searching and visiting for a couple weeks now. There's some very intelligent discussion around here, and I look forward to participating. I just picked up a Harman/Kardon Sig 2.1 amp (refurb) from harmanaudio.com via eBay for a real steal at $493...
