Is Harman Kardon Signature amps/pre-amps that bad?


I notice that members hardly mention the Harman Kardon Signature 2.0 Pre-amplifier. As well as the 2.1 Amplifier, 1.5 Amplifier. Is there something I should know? I recently acquired a Harman Kardon 2.0 pre-amp (software rev. 2.10b), and Harman Kardon 2.1 5 channel amplifier. Since I like stereo more than anything else, I was thinking of either getting a pair of Marantz MA700 or MA500 Monoblock Amps, or the Signature 1.5, which will do the job as well. Any comments? Is HK a sort of pariah brand ?

There's nothing wrong with HK components in their price range. I think you don't see a lot of mentions on this site because most people are talking about equipment that costs more than the HK products...sometimes significantly more. I have seen quite a few people mention Citation amps though...it does happen every once in awhile.
