mwells, what I ment is, you know how Yamaha's sound. You have used them for logn enough to know that they are not all of a sudden 'bright.'

The low end models, they sure could be. They are for volume sales, and do not get the top parts that their high end lines get.

If you know and like the Yamaha sound, I see no reason to listen to people saying their receicers are 'bright.'

I still have, and love, my RX-V2090.
