New Harman/Kardon 3770 with Sierra-2 or Sierra Tower?

[RRT-NPS]

Anyone using this receiver with either of these speaker systems? What are your impressions? Is it at good or better than the old 3490?


Thanks.

According to reviews at Amazon the old 3490 was much better. The 3770 is a step down.

The Marantz PM6005 Integrated Stereo amp is well liked. The Onkyo A-9050 Integrated Stereo Amplifier is well rated at amazon and is less expensive than the Marantz, about $500.

If you want to go higher end the Marantz PM8004 among others is well reviewed.

eMatthews had the PM8004 but ended up (I think) with separates - a parasound preamp and ATI amps. Many people think separates sound better, I'm guessing eMatthews preferred separates? Of course it all depends how much you are wanting to spend ...
