I currently have a Yamaha 3050 receiver and would like to switch to the 3070 or 3080 (to get the DAB tuner, better YPAO and better DSP/soundfields).
Does anyone know if the 3070 and 3080 UK models have the same kind of “UK/EU” sound tuning that the 3060 had? (Which I believe originated at AV forums)
I had a 3060 in the past and didn’t like the “UK tuned” sound with my Proac speakers. It sounded far too relaxed. The Proacs are warm sounding speakers. I have no doubt that the UK tuning works well with other more upfront sounding speakers brands like KEF/MA etc but it’s no use for me. I don’t want to change my speakers.
If the 3070 and 3080 have the UK tuning too I’d rather stick with the 3050 for now until some better Dirac Receivers come out.
I couldn’t get on with the Arcam 550 sound (also too relaxed). I previously had a NAD T777V3 that sounded great but the fan cooling noise was far too loud and the lack of ability to adjust speaker distance with Dirac engaged was tragic.
