I am looking shortly to upgrade my 609, which is great, but upgraditis means its on its way.
I had been looking at pioneer/denon/sony models because im after a brighter amp next, which nicely leads upto my question. I had always associated onkyos with a warmer sound, certainly my 609 and previous 309 fall into that category(well certainly compared to my other denon). but i have recently seen one or two comments about onkyo's being bright . Have they changed in tone in the last few years since 2011 models and older, or is it just other peoples subjective opinion, maybe after hearing a marantz or similarly very warm amp?
I also heard that yamaha's have got a bit brighter in last year or so also, so maybe i might be able to consider these also? whats everyones opinions?
