Darren, no there's no problem with your receiver. Apparently certain frequencies in those recordings are boosted to make them appear more impressive on mediocre equipment. If turning the treble control down doesn't help much, the problem may be more in the mid-range rather than the treble, and would need the use of an equalizer which could lower the mid-range frequencies. Another factor may be that those recordings are just plain distorted and clip on peaks regardless of what is done.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
