Harman Kardon AVR 630 or Pioneer Elite VSX 54TX

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Upgrading from Sony DE945. Have a Pioneer Elite HD530 Wide Screen with high
definition receiver. Want to upgrade the sound system. Prices within about
$50. Appears that HK has a little better distortion specs but wondering if
there are advantages to matching AV Receiver with Television.

I'll second the HK vote. I've had an AVR520 for the last 2 years, and
it's great.
