Tough price point.You have actually a pretty high current amp and contrary to what you have heard it not all watts.Some designs have more current delivery than others and HK recievers actually deliver on the order of mid fi like NAD,Adcom,Rotel,etc better and louder than 2 channel or AV recivers from the likes ofYamaha,Sony,Kenwood,etc).So your 65 delivers loudness (volume before distortion sets in) more like 80-100 watts of other designs.If you are still looking to have radio and not concerned with surround sound why not sell the HK and get their 100 watt (HK3450???Been a whilke I used to sell them).When folks ask me knowing I sold high end like krell,McIntosh,B&W and want to spend the least and can't spend $500 on some Adcom seprates or a NAD integrated I say the $450 list reciver froim HK sounds almost as good as a pre and seprate power ampo from say Adcom but sells for about 60% list.Too bad you can' step up to mid fi set up like Rotel,Adcom,NAD etc because you have two seperate power supplies and this leads to less distortion because current is drawn for the pre amplification from one for volume and one fopr output.The circuts are physically sperated and this helps.But again if you look at specs it's the current delivery that with certain designs that is greater or lesser and this makes some lower powered designs actaully as loud and possibly at same time sound better at high volume levels than cheaper designs.Look on ebay for sperate amp and power amp but am affrain $200 won't get you their.Tryu to find 100 watt HK reciever of recent vintaghe qand you'll come close.
