Walked into HN - floor price for the HTR-3066B was $398. the RX-V375 was $344. I asked the Rep what the difference is. He says "HTR-3066B is the same thing but exclusive to Harvey Norman." I asked him why the HN model was more expensive - he didn't know. I told him the web price was $264 - and that's what I bought it for.

    However the boxing day sale price is limited to one HN store as far as we know.

  Obviously the difference between HTR-3066B and HTR-375B is HTR-2691B :-)

  10% THD !? 0.9% even?
  My old Yamaha quotes 70W at 0.04% distortion. What is the equivalent here?

    EDIT: google says the deal description contains RX-V375 specs….. they are two different models (as if believe a HN sales person :lol:)

    yeah these power figures are complete bullshit

    would anyone be happy with 10% of their music being distorted? I grant you that doesnt matter if its skrillex or miley cyrus…

    Rated Output Power (20Hz-20kHz, 2ch driven) 70 W (8 ohms, 0.09% THD)

    so look to 50w for 5 channels drive

    also have a look at the total power consumption

      50W RMS per channel is plenty. I just wish they'd cut the bullshit.

  Whats the equivalent or near equivalent RX-V model to this? RX-V375?

    yup

  Boom! Been waiting for this price drop. Figure I'll upgrade the speakers as bargain appear :-)

  The HTR prefix is the model name given to the packaged speaker kit version on the amp.
  HTR-3065 = RX-V373
  HTR-3066 = RX-V375
  etc
