I would go with the HK simply because they are generally a high current design and let's face it, it's the amp section that is the weak link in any receiver. Don't take what Exertfluffer says with a grain of salt. He might be up on separates but when it comes to receivers, he's asleep at the wheel. He still thinks that ALL receivers are the pitiful little weaklings that they always were. A lot has happened since he's been asleep. Seriously, though, a good receiver will give separates a run for their money and in many cases surpass them.

I would have to agree....recievers just don't suck like they used to.by the way I would go with the HK just because I happen to thing they sound better to me.Yamaha often sounds dry to me....a little too digital if you know what I mean.
