from krazy krazy Summary:

the avr235 "s powerful amplifier uses tradiyional harman/kardon high-current design technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection Weaknesses:
just that i cant use the logic 7 surround modes wen i play music onley but its ok just wen i play music onley one bad thing that"s all sounds good at ferst but the surrouns speakers start to clap !!!!!

from Video Only USA Summary:
I used to sell HK car amplifiers years ago. One thing cool about the HK amps was their reserve power capacity. They were ALWAYS underrated, power wise. That measly HK 260, 2 by 30 amplifier, with its HEYUUGE heat sink, (supplied with enough current), would hold its own with amps twice its rating. Its CONTINUOUS power folks, NOT peak power. RMS RULES.....
I ran a Phillips 795 receiver for about 2 years, and it never could drive my Polk LSi-15s to my satisfaction. It would clip out.
Enter the AVR 235.
WOAH!!!!
I have pissed my nieghbors off on more then 1 occasion..... Strengths:
Superb Clarity. Lots of reserve power @ low/high volumes. Sweet lines. Reputation follows itself. Weaknesses:
Better Manual Similar Products Used:
Phillips, Onkyo, Marantz

from HiFi Installations Summary:
After 7 years of running with a Yamaha AX895 integrated amp and DSPE492 processor i wanted to upgrade. I mainly listen in stereo audio but wanted some of the new processing of the AV amps for music DVD's and movies. After listening to some AV amps in 2 channel stereo they just didn't compare with my old Yamaha. I decided to go with a Yamaha RXV-657 and use my integrated as a power amp.
I went to a friend of mine and hooked it up and it sounded terrible in stereo mode. We then connected his Sunfire amp on the pre-outs but it was still not good. His Denon 3805 alone sounded better. I returned it the next day and bought the HK 235. What a difference ! just the sound that i was looking for. I connected it to my NAD C272 that i bought the same day and it is perfect. I can describe the sound as open. Not to bright and defenitely not dull or hollow like the Yamaha. Very impressed with the HK and very dissapointed with the new Yammies. Strengths:
Looks good
Excellent in 2channel stereo Weaknesses:
Remote
Manual Similar Products Used:
Yamaha RXV-657

from Ebay Summary:
I had a wierd opportunity to get this receiver. The situation is too long to explain here but I was using a Denon 1804 just prior to this receiver. When I unpacked the Harman Kardon and hooked it up I was completely amazed. My previous receiver was rated at 90 wpc and this one was only rated at 50 wpc. The odd thing is that the Harman BLOWS away my previous receiver. Even better, it does this for (I paid less) less money! I could not be more happy. In addition this receiver looks better than anything on the market in my opinion. Strengths:
Asthetics, crisp, clean, detailed, musical, AMP. Pricepoint. Easy to read display on receiver itself. Weaknesses:
Manual a bit confusing, I didn't buy it earlier, ----NONE---- Similar Products Used:
Onkyo, Harman Kardon, Denon, etc.
