Top Notch 7.1 Audio/Video Receiver

Pros Audiophile Quality Sound Reproduction, Extensive Feature Set, 7 Channel Amplification,...
Cons A Few Additional Inputs Would Have Been A Bonus
Recommended it? Yes

Pre-Purchase Considerations

I have been purchasing Kenwood receivers for years, as I always felt that they provided good sound quality and features at a reasonable price point. I had most recently purchased the VR-510 THX Select model back in 2001. I heard many good things about the new... Read full review »

Pros EZset, durable chassis, powerful processor, many connections.
Cons Gold connections would be nice--an LCD remote too for a receiver so expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I've had this AVR525 for the past 6 months, and i can tell you that it is AMAZING.

1) EZset
The EZset system uses a microphone on the end of the receiver remote to be able to automatically sense all the sound pressure levels of all the speakers in the room and automatically adjust... Read full review »

A good thing in a big package

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Wonderful sound quality with punch and detail, exhaustive feature list, well thought out...
Cons Odd tuner design, reliability?
Recommended it? Yes

SOUND: The 525 has a beautiful sound, with tight detailed bass, a neutral and detailed midrange, and perhaps a slightly laid back top end. imaging and openness are excellent - much better than my previous Technics receiver or even my Hill Audio separate amp. The 525 makes a great match with my new... Read full review »

Strong and Distinct

Pros Attractive Clean and Powerful
Cons Heavy Speaker terminals too close together
Recommended it? Yes

I'm on my second HK AVR525; the first one was factory reconditioned and suffered from a sort of electronic convulsion symptoms – it was strange to watch it react as if it were possessed. As interesting as that seems, it is ultimately unusable. I bought it from an online retailer at ebay who claimed... Read full review »

bymusinteg Apr 28, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sound quality, greatly improved build quality, remote, features.
Cons Needs more optical inputs. Poor manual.
Recommended it? Yes

As with all my stuff, I got this one from ebay with one channel blown up for $202.50 US

Build Quality:

Unlike the previous "0" series (AVR 120, 320, 520...), this one was exceptionally free from quality control issues (connectors 1/2 on, bad solder, mis-alligned parts on the... Read full review »

Pros Excelent price, great sound

Retail price is 1299. i got it for 649. Harman Kardon is the best company out there for receivers. I reccomend this to all people seeking a great sound system. It is awesome with my bose acoustomass 6 speakers. They do not lie about the wattage rating. and to think i was going to buy a cheap sony... Read full review »

I bought this reciever to replace an older Pioneer that started having problems. I am getting a new surround and wanted something that would power it well, with exceptional sound quality. Hooking it up wasnt too bad, except the weight of the unit made it a little tough to get behind it and hook up... Read full review »

Purchased this unit to replace an older Carver unit (Dolby Pro), with the hopes of doing it right. Brought the unit home and set it up. Setup was user friendly. This unit has a good feature set. However once the unit was up and running, I discovered that the sound was very brassy, tinny, hollow... Read full review »
