By M. Wangler
Harman Kardon again amazes me with their quality products. Nothing else can give you the power or sound quality of an HK in this price range. This receiver is a high-current receiver, which means it sounds a lot more powerful than the wattage states. The speaker connectors on back, while maybe a little hard to get your fingers around, are designed so you get the best connection between the speaker and the receiver. Receivers where you just "push the wire into the connector" give you the poorest connection of anything on the market. This is a much higher-end way to build a receiver. I just cannot say enough good things. It even LOOKS cooler than other receivers, with blue lights on the front and volume knob.

This is a very complex receiver and definately not for the beginner that i am...i found it very diffucult to set up and had to ask a friend to come to my house and complete the process.Very happy with the sound and the HK speakers.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Perfect for those with a 6.1 system and 7.1 outputs
By M. Dippel
This may seem like a strange selling feature, but I have a HTPC at home with a choice of 5.1 or 7.1 output. But my well tuned home theater speaker setup is 6.1. Obviously I didn't want to lose the back channel by going 5.1, but at the same time I didn't want to remount and reconfigure my system for 7.1.Enter the AVR 135. It has 7.1 analog inputs (perfect for my 7.1 sound card), and it combines the SBL and SBR channels to one SB channel. At first I was a little apprehensive about such a configuration, but with numerous audio tests and a little calibration with my PC, it sounded quite well.I've now owned this product for a year or so and it has served all of my needs. The only drag is that it's hooked up to an "all high def" system, and the on-screen display will only display to a standard def input (S-Video or Composite). The on-screen display is absolutely necessary for calibrating the speakers, but most High Def TVs have at least one legacy input ... you'll find yourself devoting it to the OSD for this device (which works perfectly fine).
