Will do some testing today closer to the walls and maybe play around with the tone adjustments a bit. Thanks for everyone's help!

AVR1700, it has basic tone controls but no EQ or Dolby for stereo mode.

I'm currently using an AVR1700, 5.1 but only in stereo mode. The speakers are positioned in the corner, they will move closer to the wall soon, but so far I've tested them about 3 feet off the wall. The bass is okay, its not insufficient, actually I'd say the mids being a little washed out is the bigger problem. This new line of "green" H/K receivers -- I wonder if its not as warm as the older/higher end H/K receivers? The bass is ok, but the highs seem to be much more noticeable than the mids. Especially on something like electronica/trance. Whereas more acoustic/jazz/laid back music sounds quite good.

Thanks! I might try to add one sub, there isn't really room there to hide two, it might be overwhelming visually.

I'm not sure what that is. The receiver is running in "stereo mode". There is no dolby setting available for regular music on this receiver.

The amp has no eq, so that's a bit tricky :-/

It already can go too loud, so loudness is not my goal really. Just around regular comfortable listening level. Thanks for your insight!

Its a fairly large room, 27 foot vaulted ceiling, 21x25 room plus its open to the dining room and kitchen. I'd like to maybe get a little more bass out of it and more mids. I wonder if the 85wpc amp just isn't enough for these speakers?

How noticeable would the difference between a 85wpc and 120wpc receiver be on RF82s? Same receiver brand (Harman Kardon). Thanks!
