    Great features, dull sound

    I was excited to try out this receiver for its great price and large feature set. The unit has Dolby Atmos, DTS X, auto Room calibration and HDMI ARC. It also has a pretty high power output for such a modest priced receiver. I have owned Pioneer ELITE models in the past and have been mostly impressed with their sound, dependability, and performance. After I hooked this unit up to my Martin Logan 4i speakers and ran the calibration utility, I immediately noticed how FLAT everything sounded. There was literally no life to any of the material i played. Music, effects, dialogue all lacked punch and the bass effects were severely limited. I ran a firmware update to the unit, and completely restarted the process - reset to factory, reinstalled the speakers, and ran the calibration utility again to similar results. The unit was dependable, passed through HDMI Arc signals reliably, and did a good job handing all of the equipment i plugged into it, but at the end of the day a receiver needs to sound good - and this unit just sounded dull and without expression so i returned it.

    This is a great av system for the price. I'm running a 5.1 surround sound , all Sony speakers at 6ohm. It's plenty powerful for my use. Also Xbox, Blu-ray, cable box and Pandora are connected. Setup was stressful but worth it.
