Bray, how big an power upgrade do you want. I'm in the same boat as you with the HK 130. I bought it because of tight finances-upgradeitis is hitting me too. Onecall.com has the AVR 430 (65 watts) for $610. They are an authorized HK dealer so you will avoid the warranty hassles. Good luck-I'll be watching this thread with interest.

I was hopeing for something more in the 100 WPC range (or higher), but have been told that H/K underestimates or underrates their power.
Do you think thats true?

I doubt Dakmart has it in stock right now. It's a bit cheaper at Ecost right now as well, but I think it'll be a little while before they actually get the units in. If you're not in a hurry, that seems like a pretty good choice.

H/K is pretty honest about their power rating, might see a few more watts that's about it.

I've always heard that HK rating power conservatively-I've never really researched the issue. When my HK AVR 130 was in the shop I had the opportunity to plug in a Best Buy purchased Yammie (5740 I think) rated at 100 watts/channel. I wasn't impressed and stuck with my "low powered" HK. I'm trying to save up and but the AVR 630, but wonder about going digital. Anyone have any thoughts or experience about the digital HKs

I have the HK AVR230 and am very happy with it. In my limited experience, it's power rating (50 wpc) is low. What makes you think you need more power?
I have no doubt the Denon's you are looking at are very nice....and in my experience, once bitten the upgrade bug is very hard to shake!

The only cure for upgraditus, is an empty wallet and a maxed out credit card.

that's not a cure, it's a treatment.
