While I agree that specs are not everything, they are pertinent to help define the list of what you want. Then you should go out and listen to that list and decide what, if any, of these that you want. I noticed in your profile RGA that you don't own a yamaha but you always seem to recommend them. Perhaps your getting kickbacks from them. Hmmmm. Have you ever owned a Yamaha? Anyways, not to get into a childish flaming war, here is a link to a HK 3475 on e-bay. Auction ends in 11 hours. Its direct from harman audio and carries the original manufacturers warranty.
