[QUOTE="alkit, post: 98157, member: 2670"] Hi, My setup is as follows: Fronts: Polk Audio Rti-A5 Center: Polk Audio Csi-A6 Surrounds: Polk Audio Rti-A1 Subs: Jamo Sub300 x2 Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR708 I just recently got all the above when I upgraded my home cinema. I use my setup mainly for HT use. I have already run the Audyssey calibration on my receiver. I find that the high notes (such as hissing and female voices) sound a bit "bright". I've read on a few posts that "bright" speakers are better for HT, and that's why I went with the Rti-A series. But in truth, I find the brightness to be a bit irritating. Surely "warm" or "neutral" speakers would sound better, even for HT? How can brightness be a good thing? Could it be that the receiver is the wrong match for these speakers? Will the brightness disappear as I use the speakers more (burn in)? (Unfortunately I can't do much to change my room acoustics at the moment, but the room is carpeted with the one side almost completely curtained). See diagram here: http://geewiz.co.za/temp/room.html Thanks for the help! __________________ Fronts: Polk Audio Rti-A5 Center: Polk Audio Csi-A6 Surrounds: Polk Audio Rti-A1 Subs: Jamo Sub300 x2 Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR708 [/QUOTE]
