Here is a great HK receiver. 120WPC, so it's pushing more power than most of the HK's but still possesses that beautiful HK clarity. Receiver is a little dusty, but in great shape. Comes with remote. It has been my bedroom system, so it doesn't get much use. $220 shipped CONUS.

    nope

    see the manual ;)

    http://manuals.harman.com/HK/Owner%27s%20Manual/HK_3490_OWNERS_MANUAL.pdf

    i was just checking it myself. Looks like a pretty nice 2-channel receiver.

    Nope. With that said if you have a office setup this is great for it. I had one and sold it and regret it. Its got a coaxial input so you can use coaxial out of your computer to it, and its got a phono input, it has pre-outs (and 2 sub outs) and is rated for 4 ohms so you can use is on some LSi's if you wanted

    Yep, it's a 2 channel system. Right now I have it hooked up to a pair of RTi8's, but they needed a little more juice, so I then started using it as a pre for my Carver MK2. And now it's too much for a bedroom system, but as Enders said, It would be awesome for an office system.

    Yeah its actually a beast of a stereo reciever. I wish I hadn't sold mine as its got the right connections and more than enough power for most gear, and if not its got pre-outs for ya.

    I never used it for video and connected my PC to it via coaxial and loved it. It had more than enough power for my Monitor 60's and its also got bass treble adjustments knobs as well so you can tweak things.

    Plus its hard to find a stereo reciever with sub pre-outs and 2 of em to boot so you could in theory run stereo subs, one for each channel.

    This reciever + LSi 7's + 2 subs would be a pretty darned good match IMHO.

    according to the manual... the sub-outs are "full range".... Interesting, hmmmmm. My experience with Yammie's is the subs are about 150-180 HZ cutoff and below, by design.

    Not that it "really" matters, as most powered subs have cutoff frequency pots on them anyways.... but with this HK you get two extra full range "mono" outputs FWIW.

    Nice.

    When I get a dedicated pre, I am planning to move my 3490 to run some porch and deck speakers with the two zones. It has been a great unit for me.

    Yeah, I saw that post. That is why I contacted him and asked if he was still planning on buying the receiver. I said that it was no problem if he didn't, but I wanted to know so that I could post it as still available. He messaged back and said he still wanted it on Friday.

    Thanks man! I think it is an awesome two channel receiver. But I need to liquidate some of my excess to fund my SDA rebuild. I am thinking about listing my RTi8s, but dealing with shipping on speakers is such a pain.

    Seabeerob looks to be a Navy SEABEE. Given that, he may be hard at work.
    I'd give him a couple of days anyway to respond.

    That was my first thought as well, but when you go to someones profile it tells you the list time they visited the site. He has been on several times since yesterday and didn't bother to send me any message.
