Actually, I like both the sound of the speakers and the sound of the Onkyo. It's the sound that resides in my memory and the room that the speakers reside in that's the problem!!
I want my M3s, in my OLD, smaller listening room rather than M50s in my new larger acousticaly challenged(but getting better)listening room!!
(....what I really want is M3s with tubes in a smaller "music only" room, but that's another story)
If I set the Onkyo to replicate what I "Think" I want to hear, it comes out too warm and artificial, not "Tuby" but mushy and a bit muffled.(I prefer a somewhat warmer sound than the majority of folks here.)So I've found that by switching back and forth between what I think I want to hear, with what the amps will give me with whatever EQing I toss in. And the pure sound of unmodified straight through signal, the difference becomes obvious and I'm able to more easily dial in what sounds "right"
It took a few attempts, but it sounds just about right, right about now!
