from E-BAY Summary:
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HK,I BOUGHT MY FIRST ONE ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND IVE BEEN HOOKED SINCE.ACOUPLE OF YEARS AGO I GOT INTO SURROUND SOUND.I PICKED UP AN AVR20 WHICH WAS NICE SOUNDING BUT DIDNT HAVE THE POWER I WAS LOOKING FOR,IT WAS ALSO MISSING DIGITAL INPUTS,THEN I PICKED UP AN AVR-65 ON E-BAY.I LOVED IT BUT IT HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS UNTIL IT JUST QUIT ON ME. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE HK MORE MORE TRY(THROUGH ALL THE YEARS THEY NEVER LET ME DOWN)I BOUGHT THE AVR-85 ON E-BAY ALSO.THIS TIME IT WAS FROM A GUY WHO LOOKED AFTER HIS GEAR. ONCE AGAIN I WAS VERY INPRESSED THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL RECEIVER 65AMPS(THE INPORTANT#)IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE AVR65 WHICH IS BEAUTIFULY WARM.IT DOSN'T HAVE DTS OR OTHER 6.1,7.1 BUT YOU WONT MISS THEM,ALOT OF MOVIES ARE STILL 5.1IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A NEW HK IN THIS POWER RANGE.I WOULD RECOMEND THIS UNIT OVER JUST ABOUT EVERY THING ELSE.YOU SEE IN BETWEEN HAVING THESE HK RECEIVER I WOULD BUY OTHER BRANDS HOPEING THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BETTER BUT THEY NEVER DID .AND I NEVER KEPT THEM.YOU SEE THE PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF OTHER BRANDS IS THERE OK AT HT AND SUCK ON MUSIC OR VICE VERSA.THIS AVR -85 CAN DO BOTH VERY WELL WHICH IS AMAZING.I WOULD RATHER HAVE A USED AVR-85 THAN SOME NEW CRAP. Strengths:
BEAUTIFUL WARM SOUND,VERY POWERFUL 65AMPS(VERY USEFUL WHEN LOADS GET HEAVEY)GREAT AT HOME THEATER AND STEREO. Weaknesses:
HK REMOTES HAVE NEVER BEEN THE BEST BUT IT GETS THE JOB DONE.YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY SWITCH INPUTS. Similar Products Used:
AVR20,AVR-65,YAMAHA RXV-800,PANNASONIC SAE-100,COUNTLESS OTHER STEREO RECEIVERS.
