in my quest for a new receiver i considered HK. I dont think I have ever listened to an HK , so was unbiased either way.

what closed it for me was not only the number of complaints I had read about recent quality issues, but the shear number of remanufactured equipment that HK is selling on their own website, let alone what others are selling at huge discounts. I clicked on every authorized Denon remanufactured online reseller, and for the price range I was looking at, not much was available. I guess the appearance of an abundance of reman's for HK and the apparent limited availability of reman Denon, was the nail in the coffin for HK for me. I'm not knocking HK's working products, as I said I have never heard one.

not sure if these are good deals or not but here they are.
on HK's site:
reman avr 435-z $447
reman avr 635-z $598
if I was considering a non authorized HK purchase, I would give the HK reman a consideration.
