Sweet Stereo Receiver

I purchased the HK 3490 to replace a 20+ year old receiver in a system used exclusively for listening to music. I'm very satisfied with this purchase, it has all of the features I was looking for, sounds great, and also looks very nice. This is a great value for the money in my opinion. The...

Excellent Stereo Receiver

I just got this a few days ago. I did extensive research on the best price point to quality stereo receivers out there. In fact, overkill on the research. I primarily wanted a stereo system for music listening only. It came down to this receiver and the Onkyo TX 8555. After asking a few people...

The HK 3490

I bought this receiver last week and all I can say is WOW.I paired it up with a set of Sony SS-B3000 speakers.The Bass is tight and the highs are crisp and clear.The High performance phono input was a big plus not to mention the dual sub woofer outputs.I would recommend this receiver highly.

extremely pleased

I must say that I am surprised and pleased at the amount of punch that this receiver delivers.The only problem for me is that I will now have to purchase better speakers to manage all this power,but hey I'm not complaining.The price of less than $300.00 is more than value for money.

Met all expectations

Recommended by my son, the HK3490 2x120W has met all expectations. Having the video link capacity has been very helpful.

Perfect solution for the stereo listener looking for digital inputs!

I used the HK 3480 (the precursor to this model) for five years and loved it. The 3490 is even better. The sound is more robust and full, not different, but just more refined. It easily powers my Klipsch Synergy speakers and would pair well with any mid-level speakers. With 120w even...

HK 3490

The HK 3490 delivers a clear sound. When the musice source is a CD or Ipod, the sound is remarkable. Use the optical digital audio for playing CD's, which enhanced the sound quality, this was a nice feature. Use the HK Ipod bridge II for this receiver, this was the reason for purchasing this...

Be warned -- music over movies here

Potential buyers should be warned that this unit is geared more towards people wishing to get good quality sound for their music over their movies. It doesn't have any HDMI inputs, therefore rendering almost useless for any home theater setup of 2009 (where many are moving to HDMI connections...

Great choice for music listeners not wanting surround sound.

I purchased the HK 3490 from Amazon to replace a 13 year old Sony receiver. The Sony had served me well, but it had a lot of confusing buttons and features, many of which were related to the surround sound Pro-Logic and video switching functions, which I never used. I wanted to replace the Sony...
