I was considering a 2 channel receiver like the HK 3480 for my 340 classics since I would like an improvement in 2 channel music over that offered by my Pioneer VSX-1014TX (which I'll be moving to a dedicated theater room). But it would be more convenient to have another AVR.

I've been wanting to try an HK since they are known for sound quality and I like the quadruple crossover capabilities. Would you expect something like an AVR-340 to be more musical than the Pioneer?
