Harman/Kardon AVR 154
$399.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Acoustic and electronic based music are both rendered in high detail and brightness. Dynamic power output is enough to run high-resistance speakers and fill a room. Clearly represents the full audio spectrum with low distortion.
The Cons:Does not convert video up to 1080p as seen in the Harman/Kardon AVR 254. Video inputs must be consistent with the output, no conversion between formats. Power per channel is lower than many mid-range systems and almost all higher end systems.
