The sonic quality and sophisticated features make this an exceptional value. If A/V receivers are the heart of a home entertainment system, then this AVR is both heart and mind. They take the vast array of A/V formats and sources, and make it easy for you to select a source, tailor it to the requirements of your listening room, and then play it back without skipping a beat. As with the tradition of Harman Kardon's revered audio receivers, the AVR-146 features an AM/FM radio tuner, true high current capability, ultrawide bandwidth amplifier design with low negative feedback and all-discrete amplifier circuitry. Dual independent power supplies for front and surround channels ensure that the power is present. Use the A/V sync delay to match the audio processing to the audio delay of digital displays.

"Harman Kardon has been one of the best receiver manufacturers for a long time. The high-current, low THD amplifiers sound great. Don't let the seemingly low power output steer you off, H/K is just more honest about their numbers. I bought this to run a pair of high-quality bookshelves speakers and a sub for a stereo-only setup. Sounds fantastic...very clear at low and high volumes!! If you're trying to push real..."

Good for entry system, but not great.

"Warning! This unit is underpowered! Paperwork says 30 W x 5 @ 8 Ohms...Best Buy says it's 60 W x 5. Unit also does not have access to the audio channel on HDMI. If your TV only has one HDMI input then this receiver may help...but I'd spend a little more to only hook up one wire and get audio out of it too. With that being said I only have one device with HDMI and it goes straight to the TV...and I have an optica..." Read Full Review »

"I would give it 5 stars based on the excellent performance. My only reservation is that the remote is so complicated to use and you need it for many adjustments. Unfortunately, I bought it at a well-known chain and overpaid. They refused to "Price Match" it with B&H when I complained. I almost brou …"  Read Full Review »

"I grabbed the A/V 146 on Black Friday for $199 along with the Klipsch Quintet III 5 speaker package for $300 (reg. $500). From the moment I opened it up, I wasn't really expecting all the inputs available on this unit. I realize the one person rated it two stars for not doing HDMI audio.

"4 Stars for Sound and Quality, not for HDMI...

Writing this review is going to hurt as I love Harman Kardon. My first HK receiver was a stereo my dad bought in college in the early 1970s. I used it from 1990-2000 or so when I finally moved up to an AVR-40 which has served me well ever since. I took …"  Read Full Review »
