I have been monitoring his items. Most likly where I'll buy it from. To aford it I might just go for the RTi4's for the surounds.. I'll save $200 and that will help make up for it

You best jump all over that 635 for $611 new. That's a killer deal.

I have been doing alot of reading on Denon and HK. Both seam to have impresive power ratings. However while I jiust LOVE the HK's apearance, I cant dismis its rated output at only 75W which most likly it will only be around 60W for all 7 chanels. I have however found this Denon AVR-3805. That puts out a full 93W rms in 7.1 mode and a whoping 139 in stereo So, dispite its but ugly looks I have decided on it. When the time comes (soon) I wll order it from ebay for around $650.


Heres a true review of its outputed power http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/assets/download/DenonAVR-3805lab.pdf

Edit: The HK wasnt too far behind on power http://hometheatermag.com/receivers/804hk/index2.html

Can't go wrong either way. Actually the HK puts out more watts than it's spec and it's a high current thingy, but the 3805 has just as many fans.

Make sure you get a warranty. Some of the Denon's from unauthorized dealers don't offer one or only 90 days.

Ummm Josh, if you'll notice, the Denon did 93wpc, but at 1khz, not the full range. A huge difference from the 79wpc the HK does with all channels driven from 20-20k. If you were to have them tested equally I'd put my money on the HK having more real world power, but the current is what's really the issue here and the HK has it in droves.

Oh and when you're in 2-channel mode for your music it has 146.9 wpc @ 4ohms w/.1% thd and 170.8wpc @ 4 ohms w/1% thd.

That's what we're here for

Josh-S

Does anyone know what the dif. is between the Harman Kardon AVR635 And the AVR630? The specs are the same I do belive.

ND13

The 635 is the newer version.

Josh-S

I figured that Was wondering what they changed that warented a newer version to be released.

ND13

Nothing but the model number for the most part.

Josh-S

This may seam like an odd request but does anyone here have a pic of the AVR635 or lesser models Internal desiagn? I have been searching the net for 2 hours now with no luck for the AVR635 or AVR630... I'd just like to see how she's built inside and take a look at the amps.
