improving stereo listening with ht set up


I have a B&K avr202 that workd great. Sometimes it seem alittle 'harsh'...so my question is: for about $1000 or less can I buy used and improve my stereo listening experience? do I go to spererates or another receiver, or will it just cost too much to improve 2 channel listening? HT is a secondary consideration. It will be okay either way? should I shut up and sit down....or what? thanks, john eisner, colorado

How about damping the first and second reflection points with some type of acoustic panel? That would tame the brightness some and improve imaging.
