    That would be a matter of opinion.

    I'd say Pioneer Elite.

    H/K is good stuff for the most part, but they have had lots of QC problems in recent years.

    I have no direct experience with H/K, but having pioneer elite gears, I can say that they made to last and of good quality!...
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Today, yesterday, or tomorrow?

    H-K Citation if you can still find them. No gimmickry, just rock solid separates.

    stay away from H/K

    i think their stuff just doesn't last. don't get tempted by any sale pricing.

    personally i recommend ONKYO.
