Re: Pioneer VSX 37TX Receiver

I earlier auditioned the Elite 27TX. I believe the 2 are very similar. I pretty much heard what you are describing. The midrange and lower treble just lacked clarity IMO. Other's describe this as a warm sound, but I found it muddy sounding. I found that the Denons and Yamahas delivered sound that pleases me more. I eventually went with the Yamaha RX-V2095. If the Denon AVR-4800 wasn't so expensive, I would had went with that for it's added features. The sound to me, wasn't any better than the 2095, so I still got great performance IMO.

Maybe you have the cinema EQ enabled. That rolls off the treble and high midrange if your hearing this is HT. My experience on the sound of the 27 was based in the stereo mode, which I prioritize.

Don't think I'm saying the 37TX is bad, but if you have the same preferences as I do, you won't like the 37TX's sound.

Since you just purchased the receiver, why don't you try an exchange. That way you'll know if it truly is the receiver.

Good luck on finding a solution to your problem.
