Myself, I would choose the HK. Cleaner sound, and eaiser to operate. CO is good also, but it generally has a more muted , laid back sound (like the NAD).......... JMHO.

to me, it would be Oak , Walnut...............or even Just a correctly applied coat of Black Paint. Most centers are in a cabinet and you don't see the finish........ JMHO........... OR Leave it along and sell it as is..............let someone else hassle with the problem...................

If your happy with the sound.............stick with it. Moving to the RF 52 will give you a bigger sound stage............. JMHO.

If you want, you can Date a Cornwall.............at least they won't give you any Greif............

Nice, Clean and Tidy ! I like the Sleek new look !

The Pioneer1019 is a good one. Also the Technology has Greatly changed (for the better) since 5.1's came out. The extra channel don't matter or affect your sound. Another Model to check out is the Denon 1910. Good unit simple to use .............around that price point. With Black Friday and Internet Monday coming up, this would be the time to Buy............. JMHO.

Some "Friend" Huh.................... Guess that is the way of the Wacky wild web nowadays .

Or can we call you "Gulliver" ........... Welcome to the Form !

Youthman, YOU do have game.....................the other person has no shame...............Plus his Grammer is way off..........:>). Finally, did you notice it must be A Florida thing !........................ Thanks for finding these unique and rare treasures............Keep up the Good Work !
