VR2090 vs. TXDS656 vs. AVR65

Posted by Harry [IP: 205.188.198.51] on October 26, 1998 at 23:43:16:

Okay, these three seem similar to me. (I'm either a clueless audiophile or an educated layman, can't figure out which)

All have S-Vid, DD, Discrete channels, etc. However, the Kenwood and HK both have DTS. I don't know if this is worth extra money, but it doesn't seem to add much anyhoo. The HK and Onkyo both have pre-ins, which of course is incredibly nice if you're scared of future enhancements.

Wattagewise, the HK has 65x5, the Onk 85x5 and the Ken 100x5, but the Ken is only rated at 1 hz with an average THD. However, all are below 2% THD and that's better than we all can hear anyways!

I know that any of them would sound great, but what I'm looking for are opinions from owners. Any 2090 owners HATE that darn remote?? (Speaking of remotes, has HK gotten their act together or WHAT?!? I love the new ones!) I've heard about problems with 656 s-vid switching.

Thanks for all your input in advance. Happy Halloween all!
