Hi, anyone here have this AV receiver? I had ordered the Onkyo 602 but since they were having a problem with that model and the fact that the HK is in the same price range and is a better looking receiver, with cleaner, larger characters for the display, I decided to got with it. If anyone has this model, please share your experiences.

I am especially curious about the Dolby headphone and Logic7 mode.

I am a big fan of HK receivers......well built and sound great. I used to have an HK 525.

Unless you are using 7.1, Logic 7 mode will not be a big deal.

I have my VTF-12 system (pluse the seventh speaker), and VTF-2 sub set-up and ready for when the 235 is delivered. I started to get the Onkyo 602, but the HK got better regular Joe reviews and is a much nicer looking receiver with a much better onboard readout. The icons and characters are larger, cleaner and therefore easier on the eyes. Performance wise, everyone seems to agree with your assesment above.
