Overall opinions on Harman Kardon

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 have a HK PA 2100 amp. Sounds great, versitile also.

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.

I've always thought HK is a good sound value but have never been sold on overall reliability and quality control over the years.
