High End system sounding Terrible????

Hi. I invested quit a bit of dough in my system and I'm disatisfied to say the least. I have an Arcam AVR-300, Arcam CD-73, and a NAD DVD player with Energy C-3's for my mains and Energy C-C1 Centre. Movies sound fine but when playing music the sound is overly bright (harsh), and bass lacking. The sound is also kind of lifeless, not very involving. I had an old 30 watt/CH Rotel from the 80's that I enjoyed much more for music through the C-3s. Could it be bad speaker matching.I bought the amp new from Creative Audio and even if it's not broke in shouldn't sound this bad.Can someone please help...

"My advice, use a 2 channel rig for movies and music."

That is what I do. Surround sound is more trouble than its worth to me. I like the best sound and to keep it simple as possible.

I use a vintage Yamaha CR-640 2 channel receiver I picked up for a lark on ebay in my 2 channel A/V second system for TV, CD, DVD and phono sources and couldn't be happier.
