Harman Kardon HK3270 Stereo Receiver

Summary: Great simple receiver that delivers great sound
Review: I've tried few japanese brands before I ended up with the Harman Kardon's HK3270 Receiver. At first, I thought 35Watts/Channel was too little, but these are real 35 Watts RMS, not High power Watts like advertised by japanese brands. It is as much if not more powerful than any 100W Jap amplifier on the market. I've tried it with 4 Cerwin vega! speakers, and even at max volume, it is still precise with no distortion (Very noisy though!!). The sound is great, the interface is extremely simple (Volume, balance, Bass, Treble and source, That's all!) No gadgets to boost you bass or to alter your sound. It's just plain simple but very efficient with lots of output power. The only problem is the tuner (It doesn't work very well! you need a big antenna or a cable connection if you want to use it.). So, if you're not looking for gadgets but only for great sound , This receiver is for you!
