Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Bright or Warm?

mdrew: I may get flamed for this, but, I think that the main issue/ problem is that some (perhaps most) really don't know what they are talking about? Electronic theory and physics are not exactly the simplest of subjects.

I understand the use of "bright," "warm," etc. when referencing a speaker, but I am still lost as to exactly what causes a receiver or pre processor to be "bright" if it is not processing algorithms or some sort of pre-emphasis?????

And, I am still looking for a good explanation of what do you get in a separate pre processor that you don't get in a receiver. In general the processing/ switching/ upgrading seems to be a generation ahead in the receivers.

Comments??
