Used receiver/amplifier for Primus P162

Just ordered a pair of new Primus P162 off Crutchfield for around $170 shipped. Now am looking at craigslist for a used amplifier/receiver.

So far, two responses, a Harman Kardon HK3485 for $100, and a Harman Kardon AVR-25 for $50. I've done some basic research that suggests these are both good, but I don't feel that I truly understand the tradeoffs.

Does anybody have opinions on these options? The HK3485 definitely seems newer. The main input source will be a record player via component cable, but also aux in (laptop) and will need to connect an xbox 360. I only need the stereo out.

The HK3485 should sound better as it is designed as a stereo receiver, whereas the AVR-25 is designed for home theater. Also, the 3485 has a phono input, and the other likely does not.
