I had considered Yamaha, but the amps had me a little worried. I’ll be driving a set of M80’s (4 ohm) and a set of M22’s in parallel for the center channel which would be what….? Another 4 ohm load I think. I was very close to getting the 4600, but for the money, felt the hk 7300 was the best bang for the buck. I have had no problems with the 7200 until now and the damn thing just has sooooo much power for the 80’s, that I just couldn’t go with anything with less current. – I like things loud. The 7200 damn near keeps up with my Rotel 200X2.
So, the 7300 should be here Friday. If this one craters, I’m gunna shove it somewhere dark and stinky in the nearest HK sales rep that I can find. The 7300 does upscale. Takes in 480i and outputs 480P via component (no dvi). The soon to be released HK 740 converts to 1080 (both dvi/hdmi).
