I'm the guy that was using your same receiver with my Axioms. There has to be something wrong... my center channel volume was set at -3 which made it equal to my two mains while using that Yammy receiver.

Since I posted last I replace my cheap radio shack reciever with one of those Panasonic digital recievers. The sound quality is very good, I don't notice much of a difference between it and the radio shack receiver but it also sounds far better than my rxv 3000. There had to be something wrong with that reciever, because music always sounded thin and harsh and now it's lush, smooth, addicting, and beautiful.

How does your yammy sound with music?
