Youngster | I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I saw several messages with reference to a receiver being more "laid back" or "brighter". What do these terms mean? |

elitefan | Bright refers to an over emphasis on the highs exemplified by vocal sibilance and a lack of depth of the soundstage and lack of deep bass. Laid back is a smoother sound without the sibilance and a more balanced sound where it is more neutral. Brighter receivers tend to sound thin and hollow where laid back receivers have a more full bodied sound IMO. Some of this depends on your speakers but different receivers do have their own characteristics despite what the "all amps sound the same" crowd say. |

Oscar | Hi elitefan Then laidback and warm are the same thing ? If not, which are the differences ? And what's forward, smooth ? Thanks... |

elitefan | These terms are so hard to explain in simple language it's like you know it when you hear it. I don't think I can add anything to the other posting on this subject that you where involved in. |
