Harman AVR 525 7.1 Channels Receiver

Purchased this unit to replace an older Carver unit (Dolby Pro), with the hopes of doing it right. Brought the unit home and set it up. Setup was user friendly. This unit has a good feature set. However once the unit was up and running, I discovered that the sound was very brassy, tinny, hollow sounding, not at all what I had expected from a HK product, after all they invented the receiver. I was very disapointed, the video properties were quite good, but I simply could not stand the audio. I returned the receiver and picked up an Onkyo TXSR800, which the salesperson had advised me to get instead of th HK. He let me know, "I Told You So"! But any way if you like brassy , tinny sound perhaps this is for you, but it is definitely not for me.
