Review 3 of 6

Price Paid:  $1300.00 from circuit city

Summary:
I looked at almost every av proccesor available in 1997 and I kept thinking of the sound I heard from the demo system at cicuit city. Nothing else I heard in this price range even came close to the sonic pefection and clarity of this reciever. The THX certified amp is flawless . It produces awesome lows and highs that will make you smile. This is truly a wonderful reciver for home audio and music. This reciever will do it all!! I have owned this receiver for 5 years with no problems.

Strengths:
high power amp , volume is loud and clear with no distortion.

Weaknesses:
The remote is hard to program until you figure it out then it is quite simple. No six channel proccessor built in.

Review 4 of 6

Price Paid:  $1200.00

Summary:
The Harman Kardon AVR80 is a good receiver up until this year 2001. It hooked a pair of Klipsch KG 5.5 and it blows my away! Overall it has great sound quality, it has THX certification, Low distortion and highly reliable receiver. I am thinking about adding a DTS processor. No problems so far and I have been using this for almost 4yrs now.

Strengths:
High Current Capability, Price, Expandability, Value and Performance

Weaknesses:
no DTS decoder, no fiber optic input.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
