Hi all, I was just wondering if H/K still makes respectable products? My brother is looking to buy a new receiver to replaced his failed unit. He can get an H/K 3480 for $218.00. It seems to have very good specs, and everything I have read about it is very encouraging. I just thought I'd check hear first. I might add his budget is very limited.

i recently got a bryston 7b mono amplifier for free from a friend, i hooked it up to my yamaha amp and ran my 2 front speakers and it sounds 100 times better then just using the yamaha reciever, is this amplifier basically just good for 2 speakers or is there some way i can use it with my surround, i tried watching a dvd but it just drowns out all the other speakers, any help would be great thank you

I've posted this on other forums and, while I have gotten some interesting responses, I have not gotten the information I hope to get from asking my questions. If you've read this elsewhere before, I apologize for the duplication.
