On the contrary, the HK-670 and HK-505 are anything but bright. The Yamaha CR-620 I traded away was bright and thin. I've used this receiver and amp with JBL horn hoaded monitors and high end speakers and it just sound big, smooth and creamy, warm, musical, with good detail to be involving. It is really amazing how a high-end modern speakers compliments the vintage Harman Kardon units. They remind me of my AES/Cary tube amp, with not quite the refinement and soundstage of tubes, but still tube-like.
They sound just right for me and that is why I bought the integrated amp after having the receiver. I believe these late '70 early '80 amps is the end of HK great amps.
