I know there was a post before about the settings for bass and treble. I did a search but can't find it so, I'm going to ask a question please bear with me. I noticed with the M60's I have to turn my treble to 0 or else it just seems to bright. I even tried both bass and treble set to 0 on some music it's great. How does everyone that have the M60's have there tone controls set. I think I read that the receiver can have an effect on these settings. I have the Yamaha rx-v2095

0 all the way.
Can't say I'm surprised by your statement. I'm of the (probably unpopular) opinion that if you have to mess with the treble and bass tone controls, you need different speakers.

I too agree. My tone controls have been at zero ever since I got my M60s. Just no need to try and make corrections.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Try using this link for Searching.. Axiom Search Function a forum member created it and it works great. As for tone controls, I don't usually play with them but some recordings may benefit from it. Here's a link that came up before... Tone Contols

My first speakers were Axiom AX2's back in 1986, then in 1994 I moved to KEF Q50's (only because they were shielded and my Axiom dealer went out of business), now use the M80's. My AX2's were first powered by a Technics integrated amplfier, I used tone and loudness controls all the time. Then I moved to a Rotel Integrated amp, and from then on I saw the light about high current amplifiers. Tone controls from then on have always set to 0. And with that Amplifier, I never missed the "Loudness button". Today I have gone the separates route, but still leave tone controls at 0.
If that's the way the artist had intended the music sound, who am I to think I can make it better.

Interestingly, the booklet for Nirvana-In Utero had a little diagram for where you should set your tone controls. I tried it once; it sounded horrible. Of course, my speakers then were pretty horrible, so... I've always found it strange that someone thought it necessary, appropriate, or even accurate to put that in there.

I have an integrated tube amp that has a power button, and a multi-position switch for CD, SACD, etc. That's it. Some audiophiles say thats all you need if you have a proper amp and speaker. In the '70s, when Crown was a big and respected name, their Crown 150 amp had an On/Off button, but I don't recall which knobs/switches the preamp had.

I also keep the tone controls flat on my stereo. I did experiment with various settings right after I got the system, but kept going back to the default setting. The car stereo is another matter though.

Mine are flat. Unless a kid has messed with them, in which case I always find them both turned all the way down. Amazing how much life is sucked out of the sound with the bass and treble damped significantly.
