There are no review listings in the back of What Hi Fi at the moment on any of Harman/Kardon products (apart from the go+play), is it because they are bad, or the company simply doesn't send any of its products in for testing?
So, has anyone got any info/experience/thoughts on the Harman/Kardon HK3490?
Seems to be a bit of a unique piece of kit, is it an amp? Is it a 2.1 receiver? Is it an old school type of amp which has a radio tuner? It seems to be all of these, which begs the question, where does it sit amongst Hi-Fi kit and AV kit, and ultimately, is it any good!? Initial thoughts is that it would be versatile for someone looking for musical quality, but also has something that has the technology to handle AV sound, without having to have the full surround 5.1/7.1 set up, which is my situation as the rear speakers would be either side of the cooker on the work top in kitchen, (small flat)! Also does anyone now about the Dolby Virtual Surround technology that the unit has?
Also, has anyone got any info/experience/thoughts on the Harman/Kardon DVD39?
Mordant Short Mezzo 2's mounted on Atacama Nexus 7i's will be doing the job of creating the sound, vision will come from Sky+ HD, the TV being a Sony Bravia KDL 26V4000
Any Thoughts would be great,
Cheers,
Jeff
