General Comments
For a first numerical amplifier "100%", the Harman Kardon plays great. Absolutely all multichannel decodings are offered, that associated a superb quality of manufacture, a functionality with any test, as well as a great facility of use. And side performances, nothing to repeat either. This amplifier, undoubtedly the most complete of the moment, has finally an excellent report/ratio quality/price. This product 100% numerical makes honour with the mark once more. An amplifier in the line, level listens and power, of the analogical productions which made the success of the house. With it's current multichannel decoders and its power of 120W on seven ways, it is as at ease with stereo listenings as in Home Cinema. It then delivers a sound full, dynamic, and of a surgical precision while preserving a great fidelity at the bands. The numerical one is essential gradually like the future of amplification. Powerful built and very complete, this Harman Kardon is an apparatus immediately attaching and even intriguing, comparatively with its direct competitors. Extremely powerful and dynamic, it is endowed with an extraordinary breathing and a perfect linearity. Surround spatialization, on the music like films, is also exemplary. The DPR-2005 represents a true alternative to the tuner amplifiers of traditional design, and this is why it deserves all your attention.
