I wouldn't say warm,but I've heard some Onkyo's that are musical(for a A/V receiver)instead of sterile.
Warm Sounding Surround Receiver
Seasons greetings fellow A'goners.Years ago I had a Harman Kardon surround receiver that had the most wonderful,warm sound,especially the midrange.Anyone today making surround receivers that have that glorious,warm sound or have they all gone the nuetral/sterile path?Thanks for your help
