ben erg benieuwd naar je ervaringen met ARC. Anthem is hier in europa wat minder bekend. de high end in HT.
ben zelf wel overtuigd van adsy in het bass gebied maar lang niet altijd gecharmeerd van de lift in het midden en hoog die je er op de koop toe moet nemen.
onderstaande review van de voorganger van mijn Onkyo tx nr709 omschrijft wat ik hoor.
That being said, with the Audyssey engaged and the TX-NR708 set to "stereo" the presentation was decidedly forward sounding, with a clear emphasis on the upper midrange and high frequencies. Vocals seemed to stand out in starker contrast than what I'm accustomed to, which for some may be a good thing. For me - I didn't fully take to it. The high frequencies had a bit of grain to them at the extremes and at times sounded a touch brittle and not wholly organic, but this isn't uncommon among receivers. What did surprise me was just how prodigious the TX-NR708's bass performance was - dear God it can slam. Most receivers in the TX-NR708's price range tend to either roll off at the lower frequencies or get all tubby, but not the TX-NR708 - it lords over bass with an iron fist.
Wanting to see just how much of what I was hearing was the TX-NR708 and how much of it was the Audyssey room correction, I engaged the TX-NR708's "Pure Audio" mode, which turns off any room correction and DSP for the purest signal transfer from the receiver to the listener's ears. Well the Audyssey room correction was definitely altering the sound, for in "Pure" mode the same two tracks sounded far more liquid, smooth and musical; however some of the presence and weight disappeared.
