i can give you this word of advice, take Sherwood off your list immediately.

stick with Denon, H/K, Onkyo, Yamaha, Sony ES series, and Pioneer elite series. any receiver from those brands will work just fine with the 60's.

and all those terms you used are specific to each individual. what you hear as bright, someone else may hear as neutral. ALL receivers are adjustable, so you can tweak the sound as you see fit.
