Wow, I'm planning on buying one of these today for my son. Took him around to pick out a new receiver, the old NAD amp he was using finally died. Even though there were other receivers out there with higher rated amplifiers, we both really like the way the H/Ks look and feel.He is starting out using this unit to drive a set of HSU satellite speakers w/sub, we were originally looking at the 135. But I talked him into the 235 because of the pre-outs for future upgrades.
The H/K 635 is supposed to be a nice unit, at a much higher $$$, with a decent room correction feature. The only problem folks are reporting is a surround sound quirk, where if a digital source switches from DD to pro-logic IIx, then back to DD (as in using a Hi-Def sat/cable box), the unit locks into DPLIIx and has to be manually set back to DD. Have you found this true with the 235 also?

......the 235 has all those neat room correction features as well!
Wow...I'm not sure that I have had it long enuf to know! You can set up the unit to auto select the type of digital signal that you receive, or you can nmanuall set up the signal. you can set each source and within each source customize the dsp.So, on my SAT when a dd signal is present, I have customized the dsp for DD+Dolby PLIIx, which gives me all eight speakers blowing. So far, any manual work that I have done I have chalked up to the learning curve. Sorry I cannot answer more speciffically, but a kid probably will just have fun w/ it.
You choice for the 235 over the 135 was a good one. I think the 235 is an impressive package for its price. Let me know how you like it after u break it in.
For right now he will be using it for his video games and CD/DVD playback, so he should be all right. He's almost 15 now, (the H/K is his B-day present) hopefully it will last him into college.I've got him interested in us building some DIY speaker kits, guess that will be next on the agenda.
