AVR for Klipsch RF 82 II, advice needed

[Klispcher]

Hi, everyone....I'm getting a Klipsch RF 82 II 5.0 soon, now I'm in a dilemma choosing an AVR to drive the speakers.

I can get a Yamaha RX-A1030 at the same price as Pioneer LX-57. The pioneer is pack with features compare to the Yamaha. But reading reviews online i'm worry to pair the Pio with the Klipsch. I hate harsch and bright sounding system. But I dont really know if the Klipsch RF82 II paired with the LX-57 would be bright or just nice.

Anyone with input pls just chip in....

Have you heard the klipsch your getting? For theater purposes you wouldn't notice as much but for music listening they tend to be forward and bright. If you search the forum for avrs having signature "sound" you will find many threads discussing this. Avrs can only have sound with EQ applied, it's your speakers you will hear. As for the sound it usually follows this way (excluding EQ or poorly designed equipment) the source recording>play back source>speaker.
