Totally agree on the AVR. I had some nice two channel stuff for many years, but switched to an AVR like many people did and I brought a top of the line, highly rated Denon AVR that I never thought sounded good. I changed to McIntosh AVR separates and tried to convince myself they sounded good whether 2 channel or surround (for that much money they should have), but they never really did. I finally went back to two-channel with the Luxman 590AXII and it's been heaven. So how's it sound? I was expecting warm, based on the demo's and other 'expert' opinions, but to me it's simply neutral. I listen for hours to all kinds of music and it never makes itself known, it just disappears.
As for all the descriptors, warm, euphonic, detailed, it's similar to describing a wine or a Scotch (wet dog anyone?), you're just trying to give someone else an idea of what it tastes like. You are not trying to be scientific, just hopefully helpful to them in their purchase.
