In Reply to: POLL - What is your favorite receiver? Why? posted by passion4audio on November 24, 2003 at 18:24:29:
My personal 2-channel favourite is the esteemed Harman Kardon H/K 930 receiver. It was their top-of-the line receiver in its day.Why do I like it so much?
1. The tuner is as good as many separate vintage tuners. It was a
different and better-built tuner than H/K put into any of their
other receivers.2. The preamp was (and still is very musical and very-good
sounding. It has a superb phono section for those of us
who still listen to vinyl.3. The amp was very conservatively rated at 45wpc. It will drive
almost anything to a reasonable level AND sound great. Remember,
an H/K rated at 45 wpc is pretty much equivalent to any Asian
receiver rated at 150 wpc in terms of "real world" power into
real world speakers.4. They can still be serviced by a variety of good techs listed
in the FM tuner group. The FM tuner group does not test tuners
in receivers, but if they did, I think the H/K 930 tuner would be
one of the top ranking ones.
