Harmon Kardon, founded in 1953, helped create the high-fidelity audio industry, and today the company continues to produce great audio gear. Featured here is Harmon Kardon’s 3700 receiver, which has a clean, minimalist design. Selling for about $310, this receiver is really a high-end device at a budget price. Like all Harman Kardon stereo and A/V receivers, it incorporates the company’s long-standing high-current, ultrawide bandwidth amplifier designs with discrete output transistors. As a result, the HK 3390’s sound is clear and detailed, and the receiver can easily drive most loudspeakers to generous volume levels without strain.
The HK 3700 received 4.5 out of 5 stars from CNET, and it’s the highest rated stereo receiver on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from 72 reviewers.
Note that the HK 3390 is designed for stereo sound reproduction. It can, however, accommodate home theatre devices such as a cable box or gaming system, albeit only via composite video connections. If you are looking for a budget home theatre receiver, the top rated receiver is Onkyo’s TX-SR333 receiver.
You can find Harmon Kardon’s 3390 receiver on Amazon for about $310.
