vandec54 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hello All, I have been reading through out the years that most/some klipsch posters agree that Yamaha receivers sound Bright with Klipsch speakers. In your opinion, does this brightness occur during your music selections or DVD's or both? I have a yamaha and am curious as to what i am missing. Thanks for your response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottscay Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hey, I currently own a Yamaha (I'm out of town, so I don't remember exactly which model; it's current, and was just under $500 retail). It isn't a slouch, and I'm sure many people would enjoy its HT capabilit for its price, but music is certainly bright, bordering on harsh (depending on the source and music type it can be worse thatn at other times). That's why I spent the last month auditioning other recievers. I don't think it's any less bright during HT, but it's less noticeable, to me, probably because of the nature of movie soundtracks. That's the short version. I'll be writing a review of my new reciever (Arcam avr300) when I get a channce to break it in next week.

kenratboy Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 If ya don't mind me asking, how much did that little bugger set you back? I was shocked to see 3 in/1 out component video and a lot of digital in's. Looks like a great package, and I am sure the sound is amazing.

marksdad Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 in my experience it happens across the board, expanded tweets, missing mids and overstated unbalenced bass, i found when i had mine connected to my heresies there was plenty of vocals missing when listening to well known music, i guess if you grew up with yammie and you never heard well balanced music you would not miss that, but take 1 well known cd, and place it on different source players and it will sound different. in audioning over the years the worst i have found for imaging have been yammie and sony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Heresies hooked up to an Aragon amp at Klipsch HQ and observed precisely the same sonic characteristics - strong tweets, missing mids, and overstated, unbalanced midbass. It convinced me that Heresies were off my short list of Klipsch to acquire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 So, apparently those of us that "grew up with yammie and never heard well balanced music" would not miss the fact that our receivers sound unbalanced. Of course I disagree with this. Although I don't get out much these days, I have been around a little and have listened to many different systems and been to many concerts...including having many tallented musician family members. It all boils down to what sounds good to you with your ears in your home. But still... the "bright/warm" bs continues............................................... Oh well Take care Mike (The Yamaha/Hsu Underdog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.4knee Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I like my Yamaha RX V3300 with my set up La Scala/Heresy II. I want to venture back into separates on day but it does an admirable job IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
