Thanks.
I can't say which is "better" -- that depends on your needs, but here are a couple things to consider:

  • The HK is a discontinued model; the HK 3390 might be considered it successor
  • The HK has as built in phono preamp but the NAD apparently does not: if you have vinyl (LPs) this is a major consideration


I might the current HK 3390 over the NAD. it has a bit more power at 80 wpc vs. 50 for the NAD, and provides for very basic video swithing via Composite inputs/output whereas the NAD does not.

But rather than either the NAD or the HK I prefer the Outlaw 2150R which has both a phono preamp and digital inputs. It's also more powerful at 100 wpc. Importantly, it has a subwoofer output and selectable low-pass filter. Check out 2150R HERE.
