Fish, as promised by Peter and Ken, here comes your spanking. You've bought an excellent receiver, but neither it nor the Pioneer nor any other properly designed receiver are either "bright" or "warm". Depending on what the difference in the listening conditions may have been the sound could have been different in the two situations, but it had nothing to do with the basic qualities of the two receivers; both are transparent with a ruler-flat frequency response. Also, you'd better not tell an "audiophile" about what you heard; many audiophiles suffer from the delusion that Yamahas are "bright" and Pioneer Elites are "warm". You would likely be derided and be told that you've got things bass ackwards.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I stand corrected...the Yamaha sounded "warmer", is this an acceptable term??...actually the store had a 41TX display model they were almost going to pay me to take if I wanted it, which I compared the Yamaha to in addition to the Denons 2804 and 3803..I certainly am not at the level of expertise in reviewing the specs as some of the other participants on this forum, but on the surface the 1400 seemed to have more bang for the $$$, there is a software switch to switch from 8 to 6 ohms..I seemed to remember reading somewhere that some of the high end speakers need 4 ohms???...don't think this will be a problem for me...

No, that's just from the heat wafting off of it. ;-)
