I have a chance to get 1 in good working order & in nice cosmetic condition for $85.00! What are your thoughts on this Receiver? I once owned a HK 730 & wished I never got rid of it! I was thinking about using my
JBL 44 Lancers for speakers or my Fisher XP 5's from 1963!I have read else where on the net that the Original Advents,along with certain KLH models work very well with the 670!The reviews online sound like if you are going to use a Receiver,this is the 1 to get!I trust you guys when it comes to audio over any other site!So chime in on your thoughts about this Model! I myself feel it most likely is not going to be as good as the HK 730 I got rid of 20 years ago,but better then my Pioneer SX 737 or my Yamaha CR 620,both of which are mid line models!Feel free to chew me out for getting rid of my HK 730 as well!

And better or a 630 or 430. These dual power supply/amp receivers are pretty good and other than a Citation the receivers to look for.

Because I have read good things about the 670 & on Flea bay when a 730 shows up they go for big bucks these days!Have you ever owned or heard the 670?
