to be honest, i dont think you could go wrong with either one!! the HK's are generally perceived to have a warm, rich sound.. the yamaha's are not as much so, but they seem to have more features.

i think you will get positive responses for both receivers. each is good and bad in its own way. being that i have had good experiences with yamaha's in the past, i would say go with the 1400, but the HK isnt bad either.
