Your speakers are highly efficient, so you really don't need to be concerned much with power output as almost any decent receiver can easily drive them. I assume you're not streaming music and such, but if you upgrade to a 4k HDTV at some point you might want a preamp or receiver that has more current HDMI processing if you will be using the AVR or pre for video switching and/or processing. If you are not using the AVR/pre for video you can get something like the Anthem MXR710 AVR (which might even be upgradable) and probably live happily ever after. If you use your AVR for video processing/switching and upgradability is a concern and your current AVR has main inputs, the easiest thing may be just to buy a decent prepro and use your HK for amplification and upgrade the prepro if/when necessary. Best of luck.
What receiver should I buy?
I need some help my fellow audio fans. I need to replace my beloved Harmon Kardon AVR 7300. I just want something that has HDMI. I want to spend under $2000.00. It doesn't have to be new technology. I just want to be able to continue enjoying my 5.1 Klipsch set-up at high volumes. Does anyone have any suggestions? My 7300 is old tech but a high current monster. I need something close. Speakerwise I run Klipsch, RF 82s, an RC64, RS52's and an RW12D. I just use it for watching movies and the occasional rock concert video (AC/DC) and the like. I'm not an audiophile. My hearing sucks but I do need good clean power. The Integra DTR 70.4 has the weight and the stats but the reviews say it's under powered. I'm willing to buy refurbished models and "new in the box" stuff that several years old. What should I get and where can I get it.
