The Harman Kardon AVR 520 is a TOP Performer in Home Theater!

Pros It produces an excellent sound with a lot to offer!
Cons Price & no Phono input!
Recommended it? Yes

The Harman Kardon AVR 520 has a modern look that is plain and simple but is very attractive in appearance. What I like is you have a big round Volume control knob and right below it are three small round knobs to control Bass, Treble and the Balance. Another plus is the front connections, like many...

Solid High End Sound

Pros clear crisp well defined sound, lots of power, many features and stunning looks
Cons Possible quality control problems
Recommended it? Yes

I started out with an AVR 510 and after many problems it fried, literally burned up smoked etc. H/K gave me a new AVR 520. This whole process was an extreme hassle but this has nothing to do with the 520 except that some sales people I have talked to say that H/K products come in for repairs more... Read full review »

Great receiver.

Pros Excellent uncompromising warm sound. DTS-ES.
Cons No Dolby Digital EX.
Recommended it? Yes

I really recommend this receiver to those who prefer a warm almost tube-like sound as opposed to the artificial digital sound of other receivers.

It does have fewer features than other brands, but I feel that the pure sound that is achieved with this model makes up for its lack of bells... Read full review »

Pros Great Sound, Lots of Inputs, Bargain Price, Very complete feature set
Cons Weak/Awkward Remote Control. Unit is quite heavy (Pro?)
Recommended it? Yes

Summary
I received this unit as a replacement for an AVR510, which started having problems with sound processing about 3 months after I bought the unit. I liked the sound of the 510, but
was concerned that this unit would fail just like the original unit. Those concerns turned out to be... Read full review »

Harman Kardon avr 520

Pros refined, transparent, detailed, easy on the ears
Cons drums not hard sounding enough remote is not ergonomic and won't adjust bass/treble
Recommended it? Yes

HK has been described as a 'dark' sound but i find it to be a refined transparent and airy sound. the sound is soft- too soft for me especially with drum sounds. i agree with other reviews about the remote. it is oddly shaped in an inverted triangle with most of the weight at the top. the dsp's and...
