How much does the Harman Kardon AVR 130 cost?

On paper at least, the Harman Kardon AVR 130 receiver’s stats didn’t wow us. First off, it may be the brand’s entry-level unit, but at $449 (list price), it’s significantly costlier than most competitors’ budget models. The AVR 130 is a five-channel (not six) receiver, and there’s the matter of power.

What’s the Best Sound for a Harman Kardon speaker?

The AVR 130 lets you dial in the optimum crossover point for each set of speakers. In our case, we’d start with 40Hz for the towers, 80Hz for the center, and 120Hz for the surround speakers. With less flexible receivers, you’re forced to pick one compromise setting (say, 80Hz for all of the speakers), but it won’t deliver optimum sound quality.

What kind of inputs does Harman Kardon remote have?

Complete array of front panel inputs, including optical and coaxial. Friendly enough for a beginner and powerful enough for a serious listener.
