Receivers are not bright, harsh, etc. or whatever some people say on other forums. Unless your introducing some extra DSP feature, tone control, or EQ, would the receiver then may appear to be bright.

Axiom speakers are actually very neutral by design and are accurate to the original recording. So poorly engineered CD's may appear to be bright to the ears, that is not the speakers fault.
