Right Sir Bogle! that was me! nandun pala kayo.
Although may issue ako sa Harman avr340.(hindi ko na kasi ininspect what was on the box. naka cart na items pagdating ko)
masaya naman ako so far sa Dali. kahit concepts lang(entry level).
pinatugtugan ko ng Pearl Jam's ten, INXS, Staind, Electrafixion, Editors, Dishwalla, Our lady peace, Michael Johnson and James Ingram(my wife's cds), Ian Mcculloch.
My reaction is still the same so far. Oks na oks ang detail. pati subwoofer oks.
Tried watching Indiana Jones, Incredibles and some titles with DTS. Must be me pero parang mas impressed ako sa music kesa movies. Which is what I really want.
Nice to hear you're enjoying the setup.
However, may I ask what is your issue with the AVR-340? I'd like to help out if I can.
I also own an HK AVR-340 which replaced my Yamaha RX-V1400. I just bought it from Archi Audio last February, just almost two months ago. Quite new, but I'm liking it much more than my previous Yammie.
I also had problems at the beggining whenever I try to use the EZsetup. But I managed to resolve it after sometime of searching. I found out it was the wiring of my Surround Left speaker that was the fault. It was not properly connected to the speaker or was loose. I just re-spliced the cable and connected it bare and tight. After that, everthing is smooth and no problems so far as of this day.
I would watch 3 movies on average on Saturdays and another set on Sundays. Sometimes immediately one after the other. I go through my old DVD movies to compare. Yes, it does get really hot, but I keep it well ventilated. It's perfect so far, no glitches, no hangups.
You're right, it's quite good with audio.
I'm out of topic here already. You may want to sent me a PM or discuss this in an appropriate thread for HK.
Enjoy.
