    Please help me make up my mind on a these receivers...

    I have an HK 525 driving my B&W speakers and to me it is a lot better than my previous Denon receiver. I really noticed the big difference when it comes to power. Both my previous Denon and HK 525 I have now are suppose to be 70wpc but my B&W sounded better with my HK 525. It might be that HK...

    Best new reciever under $600.00

    I can recommend HK 525. I'm using my 525 to power my B&W CM series speakers and I have no problem with it. With all the features I think you will be happy with 525.

    I finally ordered my receiver!!!!

    I'm sure you will love you HK 525. You made the right decision. Read the manual carefully to setup the receiver correctly that way you can take advantage of all its features. By the way what speakers do you have right now?

    Another question! How difficult is it to set up a reciever?

    If you know how to READ and COMPREHEND what you are reading then there is no problem. It's prettry easy setting up a receiver.

    Ok, I'm starting to narrow it down!! A few more questions

    you can't go wrong with HK 525. I am driving my what they call "Power Hungry" B&W speakers (CM Series) with an HK 525 and I think my HK have no problem with it.

    KEF vs. B&W

    i auditioned both kef Q series and b&w 600 series speakers. KEF was a little bit on the brighter side and b&w is a little bit laid back. one more thing, kefs q series are made in china(but its a british co.) while b&w's are made in england.

    What speakers would you match w/ HK 525

    HK 525 sounds great with B&W speakers. Go with either the 600 series 3's or the CM's. They say the B&W's are a little bit laid back speakers but with HK they sound great (with music and movies).

    Acoustic Research S115PS Sub got hit by lightning * has power but no sound output

    A friend of mine gave me his AR S115PS Subwoofer that got hit by lightning. When I tried to hook it up to my receiver and powered up, the green light came on meaning it has power but I can't hear no sound. This actually happened to him too.Is it possible for me to change the subwoofer amplifier...

    "Bass Hole" question

    I think what happens is this, when the surrounds and the center should output a frequency lower than the 120hz the receiver will automatically redirect that frequency to the subwoofer(since the center and surrounds can only handle no lower than 120hz). The frequency below 120hz that should be...

    Should I return the 3803? For the HK avr 8000?

    You didn't go wrong with your decision of keeping the Denon. With all the problems/bugs of the HK8000 that were brought out in this forum, I guess you made a good decision in keeping your 3803. It is really a big help having this kind of a forum where we can get feedbacks about products before...

    Liked the B&W 600's, but open to suggestions.

    I just auditioned B&W 604 S3 together with the LCR center and I don't like how they sounded on movies. The 604's a OK when I tried them for music (2 channel) but as soon as I tried listening to movies (5 channel) I dont like how it sounded. The voices coming out from the center to me sounded bad...
