I'd do the 7300. My refurb H/K 525 is just fine.

The HK problems were that the OSD was completely DEAD!
The front panel door would not close....damaged. The box, believe it or not, was in great condition when it arrived.

another vote for the 7300, that thing's a beast with options galore.

I've got a AVR-430.

I had a bad unit sent to me. HK sent me a new one ASAP assuming I gave them my credit card so they would bill it again and not wait for the unit I had to get back to the factory. This way if you have sound in your existing one you can keep it until the replacement arrives.

I'm on the fence on quality for HK. Even the unit I have has spent a month in the shop getting noise out of a channel but it seems in much better shape after some new parts (warrantied thoug).

I still have one problem I can't explain is that the Video-2 setup sometimes forgets the Digitial In setting it changes from my setup of Coax2 to Analog. Not really sure why.

These problems are enough to have me consider another brand next upgrade. But power-wise it's just fine. In a space with 4 inches of ventilation and no back it runs hot to the touch but hasn't caused any problems.

Lets hope that when they say REMANUFACTURED they mean it. I am hopefull that once my replacement arrives that all will be well again.

YES...I have decided on the 7300 for SURE....unless I get another bad unit, in which case I will "step back 20 and punt".

I have asked Harman to send me a replacement 7300.
They charged the CC for a 2nd unit which will ship sometime next week. They also arranged for UPS to pickup the damaged unit at no charge to me.

Lets hope the replacement is in good shape.

Have a good weekend all.

I really wish you well on the second refurb. Your story just really scares me about getting seconds, refurbs or whatever they are called!

Best of luck and hope that it works WELL for you.

Have a GREAT weekend!!
