Harman Kardon HK 3390: Delivering Power with Passion

High-quality components make up Harman Kardon's legendary reputation

Great sound stirs the passion and emotion that connect us to our favorite movies, favorite musical artists, even our favorite video games. Delivering great sound has been a Harman Kardon passion for more than 50 years.

To deliver all the detail and realism from what you’re listening to, the HK 3390 uses a high-current power supply. Current is the energy, created by the amplifier, that moves and controls the loudspeaker drivers. The more current that an amplifier generates, the more real-world power your system has on hand. The HK 3390 uses a large power transformer to deliver more current, so you always have the power you need even at high listening levels. All of your favorite sounds--from cinematic explosions to the beat of your favorite song--are played effortlessly and with incredible realism.

So sit back and listen. The HK 3390 has the power and passion to stir your soul.

Connect with Your System

Two-channel amplification perfected and simplified. View larger

It should come as no surprise that the HK 3390 will delight audiophiles with its powerful, high-current amplifier. What is surprising is the flexible connectivity that it offers--connectivity you don’t often find in a stereo receiver. It’s the perfect building block for that second system or for when only two speakers will work.

It starts with multiple analog inputs for all the devices you want to listen to. Do you have an extensive vinyl connection? The HK 3390 has you covered with the inclusion of a high-quality phono preamp for connection to that time-honored turntable. Add composite video switching and you can even hook your HK 3390 up to video devices and instantly bring high-quality Harman Kardon sound not only to your music, but to movies and television programs, too. And why not add a powered subwoofer...or two? The HK 3390 features dual subwoofer outputs to complete the high-performance listening experience.

So go ahead and enjoy. It’s not often that you get more than you bargained for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior sound!!, January 6, 2009

By	Walter D. Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After spending a few years in a disease called audiophilia, I vowed to stop spending money wildly on different audio gear just so I could hear something different. I came to the conclusion after having a H/K theater receiver before that I did enjoy the sound enough to try another one as a two channel set-up. I sold my tube amp and bought the H/K 3390 from Amazon. Short story is the H/K 3390 sounds remarkable for 1/5 the price of the tube amp. The exponential in audio can be frustrating as you have to usually spend a lot more to get a margianally better sound. I'm not saying I will never dabble with more expensive electronics, but someone who buys this amp will be satisfied with the audiophile level results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Receiver, July 28, 2009

By	Adam Czuprynski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The best receiver I have ever owned.

I just got this in the mail today, and was so blown away that I decided to write a review. This is the first time I have ever been compelled to write a review so that is saying something.

First off, this is a music receiver plain and simple. No fancy video components here, just simple raw musical power. You may look at this and think why should I spend $200+ on receiver that is only 80 watts a channel when I can spend the same and get a 1000 watt surround sound system. These ratings are true full bandwith power ratings, and these 80 watts will outpower just about anything. It even rivals my $1000+ 120W a channel denon av receiver.

Enough about power, what really matters is sound quality. Right now I have these hooked up to a pair of old $15 garage sale speakers, and this receiver makes those sound incredible. They are big old speakers, and this thing makes those old speakers sing. Rock and country sounds amazing, and when I turn on the party mix, this puts out bass to rival my 12 inch powered sub.

Needless to say, I am amazed by this receiver. And if you are trying to put together an amazing sounding music set up, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased So Far..., August 28, 2009

By	woodbutcher (Mickey Mouse, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I've only had this HK 3390 a month, so I can't really speak to longevity and durability. Also, I'm not a card-carrying "audiophile". I am, however, a lifelong guitar player with an ear for sound. I bought some new stuff all at the same time: this receiver, a pair of Klipsch Synergy B-2 bookshelf speakers, and a pair of ASW-8" subs (all to go with a CD player I already had). So, I have a bit of a "mid-fi" 2.2 music system going. Not exactly sure how much credit to give each piece of gear... but I'm hearing things in familiar recordings that I just have never heard before. All is vivid, crisp, and warm. I can wholeheartedly endorse this combination of components!
