lol, I was looking into that receiver about a year ago...looked awesome. It is a high-current design, correct? Probably kicks some ass. Maybe I'll even grab one since the price ain't too bad. Need the nudies, also though. Take care

Not a bad price. h/k is one of the few companies still making 2 channel receivers.

Houston we have a problem
The 3480 is a very nice 2 channel analog receiver. I bought one a couple of years ago to use while my HK-505 integrated was in the shop. Liked the sound and remote control convenience of the 3480 so much that it's currently being used in my main system and the 505 has moved to my bedroom system. $218 new is a very good price.
Newer H/K stuff is pretty impressive.
Our house's nice system (as opposed to mine) has a new H/K receiver. It haas high voltage and high current lights on it. Both are lit up, which logically means it's putting out high power, but because they light at even low volumes, and because they didn't used to be lit (only high current was), I'm a bit worried. But the receiver hasn't exploded or fried the speakers (nice Polk's, I think). Apparently that stereo was made of components that cost $300 each-- When it was being built my parents decided on a $300 receiver, $300 speakers, $300 CDP, and the $300 tape player doesn't really matter now. It sounds great, I will have to do a comparison to an older really nice receiver, but H/K does make decent stuff. I am hoping the 3 channel "Pro-Logic" H/K in the attic really did blow a fuse and isn't toast, as from the tests I did with the one good channel show, it also sounds quite decent.

Tell me about it.

You're kidding me? For the money, the H/K 505 was one of the best sounding integrated amps I ever heard back in the day. That's quite a testimony for the 3480. Wow. Now, I really want one. "Honey....it makes French toast too....."
