I'm pathetic. Have a brand new HK AVR 635... (1 Viewer)

...and already I want more.

Yes, I will use this thing until I literally want to throw it in the dumpster (as in, old and worthless), and I will enjoy it, but I am already thinking about hi-end seperates (Parasound Halo, Lexicon, etc.).

It is a sickness.

Knowing and excepting the disorder is the first step. I am too far gone to ever come back . But at lest we can have fun at the same time. Just give in. It will be less painful that way.

Half way would be to get one of those amps and use the 635 as a pre/pro.

 

[Stephen Hopkins]

If you decide to make a move into seperates then definitely let the first step be an outboard amp w/ your 635 as a pre-pro. With its great processing and room-eq i think it would make an awesome proccessor (especially since it's a great receiver).

 

[MikeDuke]

I have to agree that a logical first step would be an amp. That is what I did. I got a Bryston 5b-ST for my denon 3300.
From there I never looked back. Have fun

 

[Kenneth Harden]

While the receiver is amazing, it does not seem to have the gut wrenching dynamics I was expecting (and have heard with seperates).

My speakers are still down for the count (new crossover on the way), so I have not really been able to let em rip.

Adding power amps is a great idea.
I have a H/K AVR430 and since I've added 2 H/K PA2000 power amps on both front and surround channels (I am a big surround SACD/DVD-A fanatic) it absolutely rocks!
