Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Harshness question and break-in w/new receiver?

But, I'm not using the amplification on either the 2807 or the 818. I'm using all the pre-outs to a XPA-5.

WIth movies there is clearly a better sound with the 818. It sounds MUCH different. The 818 is much better except for the harshness in music.

I really do think I'm hearing the difference between DVD and Blu-ray. I can hear those things in general. In fact, I can hear the high-pitched sound of security systems and even those mosquito ring tones that usually only kids can hear.
