Hello all- My wife and I just moved from our cozy apartment to a new condo. I made an impulse purchase and bought and HK7300 to replace my Yamaha RX V2400.

In listing my other equipment below and my room specs, do you think the HK will tame some of the highs that are produced by the Axioms in our new room:

Here is the setup:

2xM60
1xVP150
2x QS8
1xEP500

Now for the room. It is 29ft Long, by 13.5 feet wide, and 10 feet high. It is ALL Hardwoods which is creating a fairly bright environment. We do have a large shag are rug that runs the length of the plane of the fronts all the way to the primary listening postion.

With the Yamaha currently hooked up, the movie peformance is great; however, music is good, but the room is adding to the highs.

If I take the time to unhook the Yamaha (not excited about that), do you think the HK7300 will help tame the axiom/hardwood combo at all? It seems like around here that HK is thought to pair w/Axioms better than some of the Yamahas.

Thanks for any guidance.

P.S.- THE SUB CRAWL THING TOTALLY WORKS!!!!!!!! WOW What a difference for 5.1.
