I'm thinking about replacing my reciever in my living room.  Should I go for Harman Kardon or Marantz?

However , i think that HK somtimes fall asleep at the quality desk , within 10days of purchase the AVR gave up the ghost ....!!!!!Most unhappy .
Took the thing back to the HK shop (drive fm Masirah to Dubia!!!) and they replaced it on the spot , including the remote as i'd dropped it and broke the lcd screen. The new AVR has been running trouble free for 8 months now so touch wood all is good ......


What i have been hearing about the HK recievers is that they have excellent stereo sound quality and that unlike many other brands their advertised output power is actually what its supposed to be, and not inflated numbers. I have also heard that the ammount of products with quality issues are on the high side. Im not going to buy it online because i dont want the hassle of shipping it everywere if i get a bad product. Alot better to be able to talk to the guys i bought it from.

I cant help but be abit taken by the design on their stuff either.. it acually has a pretty high WAF
:)

I may skip on the B&W speakers and look at Infinity Beta 20's just to be able to get everything from the same shop.

Stereo and surround sound is fantastic , i compared it against a bose system and a yamaha system ,the figures i think are quoted a little on the low side  my system seems a lot louder than the figures HK tell you ....then again might just be me :)
