Harman Kardon 3390 & 3490


Found both of these receivers for cheap price.The 3490, 120 W/C +/- 45 amps, the amperage I find hard to believe, for $299, and 3390 80 W/C +/- 40 amps.

I listen at 92/94 db or less, most all the time.I like my hearing real well!The tube amp I've used is 22 W/C and when I play music at 94/95 db for a few seconds there seems to be more left on the tube amp. I sit 10' from each speaker.I used an SPL meter to check the loudness. The speakers are Vandersteen 2CI's.Oh, the room is 15 x 27 with door ways at the opposite end of the room.
Thanks for any help you may afford me.

Hi Harley

From what I've read online the HK 3490 amp section is quite powerful and could push your Vandys to the 92/94 db you require without any issue.

Here is one A'gon member who reviewed the HK 3490
