I'll back you up 110% NeverHappy. I've now owned both the H/K 630 and the Yamaha 1500. They sound as different as night and day. The processing is different, the clean/warm amplification is totally different.

This comparison was based on all the same speakers in all the same positions.

For one to say..."it's all about the features"...is the wrong thing to say. It should be more like..."features are imporatant, but not everything."
