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.
