Price: $250.00   

Product Feature

• Stereo receiver with 100-watt-per-channel amplifier
• Preamp out/input jacks for use with outboard equalizers
• 5 audio inputs, including a high-quality phono input
• VMAx signal processing creates an open, spacious soundfield with only two speakers
• Color-keyed connections and comprehensive remote control

Product Description

The HK 3470 is a full-featured stereo receiver with five inputs and an FM stereo/FM mono/AM tuner with capabilities that provide for the utmost flexibility. Even a high-quality phono input is included so that you can continue to enjoy your existing record collection as well as the latest CD recordings.

The HK 3470 is the world's first stereo receiver to offer VMAx. VMAx is a proprietary signal-processing technique that creates an open, spacious sound field when only two loudspeakers are available. VMAx circuitry is able to decode the ambience of a concert hall or theater from a stereo recording.

At the center of the HK 3470's performance is a Harman Kardon-designed, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier with an output of 100 watts per channel. Separate speaker 1 and speaker 2 outputs give you the option of high-quality sound in two different locations. For added depth and flexibility, Harman Kardon has added pre-out/main-in jacks for use with external amplifiers, equalizers, and signal processors. A subwoofer output and tape monitor loop are also included.

The receiver itself features a digital AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets and direct-access tuning. Infrared remote extension jacks let the receiver be controlled by remote, even if the infrared sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, through the use of an external sensor. These convenient features, combined with an included full-function, programmable remote control, make the HK 3470 one of the most user-friendly receivers Harman Kardon has ever built.

Harman Kardon offers a two-year warranty on parts and labor for the HK 3470.

Harman Kardon 3470 Audio/Video Receiver Review

If you want a high power receiver you can crank, this is an answer. For year H-K has followed the design theory of broadband, and that mean what you hear is in the area of audio that is ruler flat.The tuner is sensitive with just an indoor antenna. I am able to listen to low power distant stations with ease, and also the local powerhouse FM's sound fine too. Distant AM's like KGO or KFBK come in fine at night in the north Seattle suburbs with just the included loop antenna. Speaker connections are easy, strip the wire or use a binding post. There are switched outlets on the back for the turntable if you still have one like I do, and the CD or cassette. And if you still listen to vinyl, there is a high quality preamp for your turntable too.The only weak link is the Vmax circuit that is supposed to give a broader stereo image. The effect depends on the source material, sometimes the magic works well, sometimes it doesn't.The remote control is simple to use, but be careful when you turn it up. It can rattle the walls, and you may want to set up a request line for your neighbors.

Technics SA-AX730 Dolby Digital Home Theater Receiver Review

The Technics SA-AX730 is one of the most powerful and quality receivers. With its H+ class circuit amplification produce a clean, precise sound with a wide dynamic range and a minimal T.H.D (total harmonic distortion) 0.05% on rated power with all 5 channels driven (20Hz - 20Khz)and a damping factor of 30 (no need for more).With its Dolby Pro Logic processor you can enjoy a full surround music from 2 channel sources and a discrete 5.1 channel (AC-3) from a device containing Dolby Digital Decoder (its 6 channel input ready ) and most DVD players are equipped with Dolby Digital Processor. I strongly recommend this machine because of its nice design, quality of sound, and some uniqe extra features like the automatic cooling fan, the help function botton that gives a status information about the reciever and operating faults , the timer and alarm function and its capability to handle speakers from 4 Ohm to 16 ohm impedance. In addition; its "test" and "Delay" function for speaker adjustment and distance can optimize the sound for every room.
Do not forget the protection (cut off) circuit that protect the receiver from a possible damage when a shortcut or overload is happening.
The bottom line:
An amazing a/v receiver for both Music and Home theater with high end sound quality. worth every pinny!!
Enjoy the music....

Installing the speakers is quite simple, as the S 25 speakers have a pair of screw-down connectors on the rear of each speaker.

Jamo 360 S 25 HCS 5.0 Home Cinema System Review

I purchased these with the matching Jamo Sub-800 for my small beach house living room. Very practical yet very cool at the same time! they sound amazing for being so compact and have the looks to boot. My favorite thing about these is how the stand on the speaker can be twisted around as a wall mount. Like I said, very cool, very practical, very stylish design, amazing sound for the money.

Polk Audio LSiM705 Superior Performance 47" Floorstanding Tower Speaker - Each (Mount Vernon Cherry) Review

With the recent acquisition of my tube power amps, I've been looking for speakers that might be an easier load for them over the next several years. Specifically I wanted better efficiency and an 8 ohm impedance or higher. And of course if I was going to change speakers, I'd want to go up in sound quality, not down. This is hard to do on my budget. After a couple of recent false starts with other speakers, I was prepared to keep my LSi15's for a while

Enter the Polk LSiM705.

These speakers have been on my watch list since they came out a few years ago. At $3,000 a pair they've been a bit out of my price range. When a recent sale from Polk presented itself, I snapped up a pair!

Unboxing:

Wow, these puppies are heavy. At 78 lbs these are about 20% heavier than the LSi15s at 66 lbs. All of the internal bracing and separate driver chambers makes for a heavy speaker. They are 1.5 inches taller than my LSi15s and seem to be quite top heavy. The front feet look narrower than those on the LSi15. I'm pretty concerned about these getting knocked over accidentally. I've got "outriggers" on order from Sound city.
I hope they are of good quality as they aren't inexpensive.

Fit and Finish

This is an area that Polk has really outdone itself. These speakers look like hand built custom speakers. Believe me, the pictures do not do them justice. All of the hardware used is top quality. The veneer is flawless and looks painted on. All joints are barely even visible. There are no parallel surfaces in these cabinets and I doubt they are cheap to produce.

The grills are held on with hidden magnets. The speakers therefore look great with or without the grills installed. This is a really neat feature. I know that some other high end speakers use this method, but I've never owned any and it really works great.

The binding posts and plate are higher quality than any I've seen on a Polk before. In some other reviews, positive comments have been made about the use of jump wires versus jump bars on the binding posts. This is a step in the right direction. However, I feel the wires and connectors used are slightly cheesy and not up to the overall quality of the rest of the speaker. I replaced mine with some better ones I had laying around.

In order to level the speaker, the spikes/feet are adjustable from the top, which is a very convenient feature. The speakers are adjustable where they stand. There's no need to tilt the speakers to get under them to make adjustments. The adjustment hardware is of high quality and gives the speaker an expensive high tech look.

In my opinion the color on the Mahogany models is way too dark. These speakers might as well be black paint. In fact everybody whose seen mine so far believes they are black, until I shine a flashlight directly on them. Only then can you barely see these are VERY dark brown. And mine are directly in front of a window!


The Sound:

In the last few years I've had a number of different speakers in my two channel rig for extended listening:
Magnepan 1.6

Paradigm Monitor 9
Vandersteen 3
B&W CM9
MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL
Zu Audio Soul Standard
Polk LSi15

Of these, I've liked the LSi best. They gave me the best balance of clarity/imaging, dynamics and overall value. The LSiM705's are a great leap forward in every regard.

In his Model 7, Richard Vandersteen claims to have produced the world's first "truly pistonic" drivers, with cones so stiff that they can't breakup. I can't speak to that claim, but the model 7 is the best imaging speaker I've personally heard. The imaging and clarity of these 705's approaches that of the Vandersteen Model 7 and easily bests the Model 3 in my opinion. The "aerated polypropylene" cones are said by Polk to provide for a very lightweight and very stiff driver. I believe them. I really can't say enough concerning the accuracy and precision and clarity of these loudspeakers. Polk has really done their homework on the design. And unlike other highly accurate speakers such as Thiel and Vandersteen, these speakers aren't bashful. Throw on some Led Zeppelin or Rush, turn up the volume, and they'll provide an instant party. They have a bigger soundstage than the LSi's and much bigger than the Vandersteens and Thiels.


For me these speakers are Keepers. Big time.

Truth be told, I could have remained happy with my Lsi's. When auditioning other speakers, I would at times find a pair that gave me more of a certain aspect of sound quality. Maybe better resolution, or better dynamics. Possibly better sound stage, or better efficiency. But I've never found a speaker that provided the overall balance of the LSi's. At least none I could afford. Until now.

If you can afford these, Buy them! They easily compare to speakers costing 3 to 4 times more. They are truly "high end audio".
