I've had a similar experience. Was using a Yamaha CR-820 and never really liked the sound. Ended up (via eBay) with the hk500/505 combination -- love the sound! Nice balance, detail. Used with KEF 401/2 (hard to drive at 4ohm) and now with small JBL monitors - the hk has no problem with either pair. hk500 tuner sounds superb to me, especially as I bought it for around 30 bucks. I've seen other hk500 tuners lanquish with no bids at around $30-40 on eBay. highly recommended. Also, I noted a hk505 went for $154 recently.

Seems like many folks revere the earlier 430/730 receivers -- i don't know, I also own two 630s and find the hk505 far superior.
