Advice Please...H/K or NAD?


My first post here...I need some advice. Within the past year I purchased a Harman Kardon 3490 2 channel receiver. I am done with home theatre, and this H/K piece seemed to be reviewed very well in all forums. I have been using it with a pair of Klipsch KG 4.2 speakers and have been pleased with the set up. That was until I came upon a used NAD 2400 THX amp and a 1600 tuner/preamp, which sounds awesome as well, and I am at a stalemate. I know, the best advice is keep 'em both! But that is not an option, so which set up would you keep and why? Thanks!

Hey Ryan, I'm finding very crisp highs on the H/K but lacking in mid range. Drums and vocals sound clearer on the NAD, but I am using the loudness button on with the NAD to bring in a fuller sound and better bass. They both sound good, just different. I cannot say one is better than the other from my ears. What do you think of your H/K?
Both are great sounding, but in the avr category NAD is a well regarded brand.
I've really enjoyed my 3490. I use it in my nearfield desktop setup, driving a pair of Era D4s. I got it because it had a build in DAC, great price, and good power. I've only had a chance to compare it to one other receiver - my Marantz SR5002. It is very similar sounding, but I feel the SR5002 has a slight edge in sound quality with slightly better separation in instruments and a little better presence overall, but very slight.
