Hi everybody!
After 6 weeks of life&death-today I've got my M80s,VP150 and QS8s, a nice addition to the HK7300( one week old).The customer service was amazing-despite a few small errors (typing).
Unfortunately, I am in the painful process of finishing my basement-still have to install the carpet(contractor hired)-today and to paint the walls...and then to by a stand!I hope i'll be able to do it until Christmas.I can only imagine how the system will sound...I am very curious to see if I will notice a real improvement from the HK 120.
Fortunately I will take vacation until January the 4th, so I will have some time to try to set it up and to calibrate it.(the HK7300's manual has 40 pages!).
I wish you ALL a very Mery Christmas and a marvelous New Year!
My warmest regards,
Octavian

All the extra headroom and clarity the 7300 is going to give you will also give you great sound. Believe me you will love it.

The 7300 won't give me extra headroom......it is not comparable to the stuff I am running.......
The original poster might see the difference - and no, all amps do not sound the same. I am not familiar with the HK stuff, but if it is a significant upgrade in their model line, I would be surprised if you were not completely floored by the difference.

>>I am very curious to see if I will notice a real improvement from the HK 120.
I went from an HK 3270 to HK630 driving my M2s and the difference seemed pretty significant. The M2s seemed like even better speakers on the 630. Don't know how much is better filtering between M2/sub vs. how much is related to bigger/better power amp but the difference seems significant.
Disclaimer -- I have *not* done direct A/B testing between the receivers so this is relying on memory only.
I think you're going to be VERY happy, even if you never know whether the speakers or the receiver made the difference

In reply to:

Ahhh... but bigger amps are better. Just look at those dials. They go to 11. Smaller amps only go to 10. That's one more now, isn't it?
Is that an armadillo in his trousers, or has he just been sitting in the basement staring at those Axioms and that HK too long?

Sit down. Shut up. Listen.
