Re: Pioneer VSX 37TX Receiver

I have a VSX-36TX that I use with Dynaudio Audience speakers connected with Analysis Plus Oval 12 speaker cables. I do not hear what you do. The sound is clear, dynamic, and holographic.

The best place to start troubleshooting is to play a CD in straight stereo mode (no DSP) and see what's happening. Also, since your speakers are bi-polar - "BP" - their placement is more critical than with many other types of speakers. Just for fun (and if you like carrying speakers around your house) you might try your Hales on the Pioneer. That might be interesting!

As with Hales, the Definitive Technology BP 30 speakers may require 100 hours or more to break in properly. Often during break-in, a component will initially sound just fair, then go to really crappy sounding before opening up and sounding good. You may be experiencing the "crap phase" of break in. :)

Like you, my "downstairs system", which just happens to be downstairs, is a bit better: Well Tempered Reference/van den Hul Black Beauty, CAT Ultimate, and Atmasphere M60 mk.2 OTL amps driving Merlin VSM-SEs with 2 REL Strata III subs. Of course the Pioneer is in a different league, but still, it is the center of a very listenable and enjoyable system.
