Quite often I read hear about receivers that sound bright, others sounding warm and others(NAD) being neutral.

Could someone please try and explain bright and warm?

I gather that Yamaha receivers are considered bright and Pioneer as warm, but I have listened to some Yamahas and Pioneers and my perception was that the Yamahas had a clean sound(maybe lacking some midrange on some models) where the Pioneers I listened to had a typical "boom-tizz" sound i.e. Bass was booming and the highs sounding too high.

OK, at least neutral I understand as I know what the NADs sound like. Well I normally would call that mellow sounding.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

You joker, you!

It seems that what some people consider to be bright is considered by others to be warm and vice versa.

Well... depending on the type of music, there is also just LOUD.

:-)

Yep. Depends on the individual listener and what their sonic priorities might be.
