I've never owned any HK equipment, but what I can tell you is this, if you are unsure of your purchase - take it back. Then give yourself a few days to do some reading/research on A/V recievers. I know that sometimes it is hard to resist what you percieve a "good" deal, been there myself and have got burned. I now won't buy anything unless I know exactly what I am getting. I can also tell you that you can stretch your money farther if you don't mind buying used gear, I'm sure that there are comparable/better recievers here on Audiogon for less than $1k.
Looking for a quick answer about an HK AVR-7200
I have just a few days left while I can still return it.I was mislead by an ad that said it was THX Ultra certf'd,which it isn't.My fault for impulse buying.I got it for $1000, supposedly brand new,but the dated stamp reads Feb.2003.I'm not thoroughly familiar with the newest technologies (192/24 DAC).If I run the DVD player through it,is this necessary for good sound since the 7200 has full analog already and digital.I'm concerned about wasting money when I'm looking for quality on a budget since I'm still laid up from the Ground Z search & Rescue and on a extremely limited income,but since this is my main source of entertainment,I splurged because I already have a 42"plasma.I had 2 Wharfdale Valdus 400 speakers also a set of Klipsch THX 5.1's from my computer I'm wondering if I can incorporate(for another post).My main concern is the quality of the 7200 for $1000. Opinions,please! I wont hold you to anything,don't feel responsible and hold back.I have my own, but I'll take my as much input as possible before the 5 day deadline to decide.
Many thanks in Advance.
