Overall opinions on Harman Kardon

I've noticed a distinct lack of any conversations regarding HK gear. Is this due to it being unpopular, or simply not common in the US?

I remember auditioning a HK integrated amp a couple of years back (before buying a NAD) and thinking it sounding pretty good.

In my opinion H.K was a much better product back before JBL purchased them..Harmon Kardon of years ago was a very high quality product..I am not an expert on the JBL/H.K. product my guess is its pretty much a trickle down product now...Just my guess....

I've owned a lot of HK over the years and over the past 5-10 years, the quality has started to wane. I have an 880Vxi as the guts for my spare system and I still believe the CD-491 was one of the best, if not the best, cassette decks ever...and I was someone who owned and loved my Nakamichi CR-7a.
