Re: Why

"The cheap consumer (Sony) recevers have so much bass boost at "flat"...they will make you gag."

I believe the Maggies (particularly with the Nordost) that will make the difference in this system. With ~$270 for electronics and source, in my experience Sony is a good buy. While I wouldn't compare the Sonys with the best of the best, I've not heard them display the bass boost of which you speak.

The Yamahas to my ear, display a peakiness in the lower treble that quickly grows tiresome. I tend to prefer errors of omission as opposed to those of commission as I find it much easier to ignore missing information than to ignore spurious information, especially in the upper midrange and lower treble.

Happy Listening!
