    Receiver to tame RF-7?

    Well, I finally made my decision and picked up the new Denon 2803 today! All is now good! That nasty 'edge' that would sometimes make you squint your eyes is now gone. It's a little down on power compared to the Yamaha, but it's still sufficient. The only problems I have so far are - 1...

    Well, I kinda upped my budget "slightly" hah.. I went to Ultimate Electronics here in Vegas. I was really like the way the the Kenwood Sovereign sounded with the Klipsh speakers. Very nice. I also like the Pioneer Elite's sound. The problem I had with the Pioneer was the HEAT. It was so hot...

    Receiver to tame RF-7?

    Here goes: I just picked up my new Klipsch RF-7's on Saturday and love them. I have read about the Yamaha/RF-7 combo being a little too 'bright'. I agree! My combination is now a little too bright for my tastes, but there is no way I am returning these speakers. I am currently using a Yamaha...
