You can probably find a better price on the 635 if you shop around. I recently picked one up from J&R Music World online for $699 with free shipping. That is for a brand new unit with full factory warranty.

Thanks for rubbing it in Kenneth. :D

Thanks for the responses everybody. It wasn't the box that looked like it had been worked over by a hammer, it was the actual receiver. I was a little dismayed to find that J&R shipped a piece of electronics that heavy, in such a flimsy outer box that contained only a bag of air on one side for...

I recently ordered a Harman Kardon AVR-635 from J&R music world online. My order just arrived Friday. It came out of the box looking like someone took a hammer to it. I promptly notified customer service and received a RA#. She said that they would schedule a UPS pick up that should occur no...

Thanks for all the replies! You guys have been helpful. I was leaning towards the 635, but I will check into the DPR 2005.

Thanks anyway for your attempt to help Colin. Pre-outs on the 225 would have done the trick.

Wayne and Paul thanks for the replies. My 5.1 system is comprised of the Monitor Audio Bronze series( B4's in the front/Bronze center/B2's in the rear). The speakers are pretty efficient with sensitivity ratings of 91 and 90 dbs. They are 6ohm except for the center which is 8ohm. My avr 225 has...

Hello all. I was hoping some of you would share your advice/wisdom/opinions regarding some receivers I am looking at. I am trying to determine what would be the best bang for the buck between the older Harman Kardon Avr's 7000/8000 or a new HK avr635. I currently own the HK avr 225 and have...

Craig I have an H/K Avr 225 driving Monitor Audio Bronze series speakers. My mains are 6ohm while my center is rated at 8ohm. My rears are also 6ohm. I too initally had worries about this, but the modest H/K powers them like a champ. I haven't noticed any overheating at all. My speakers have a...

Hello from another new member. Have you heard the HSU Ventriliquist system? If not, and you have a Comp USA nearby, I suggest you go down and listen to it.My impression of the VT12 system was that it would only be ok for home theater in small rooms. Musically it doesn't fair well in my opinion...

Thanks for the help guys. I will try out the HK and see if it will get the job done. I was just initially worried that I may cause harm to the receiver or speakers. Thanks for the heads up on Marantz as well.

I was wondering if anyone could provide any help or advice in choosing a receiver to power 6ohm speakers. The speakers in question are: Monitor Audio B4 Front L/R nominal 6ohm 91db Monitor Audio Bronze Center nominal 8ohm 91db Monitor Audio B2 Surrounds nominal 6ohm 90db The speakers...

DonnyD Thanks for your reply.

Hi. I am a noob to the forum and to some extent the home theater hobby. My current set up is made up of Boston Acoustics CRC center, CR7's for the l/r front, and also the surrounds. I am using a HK AVR 225 to power everything. I recently came across a very good deal on some Monitor Audio...
