I’m not a pro-audio guy so here’s my dumb question...
Which decent (under $1,000) home theater receivers have built-in tone controls that go beyond just a single bass and treble control? I currently have an Outlaw Audio 1050 that I’m selling on ebay and am thinking of upgrading to their new 1070 model or something else. However, the old Outlaw receiver and even the new one only have a single bass and single treble control, which really doesn’t give much flexibility in adjusting the tone.
I found this out after I had purchased a beautiful old (analog) Pioneer SX-1050 receiver for my son. This seventies receiver has two bass controls (50Hz & 100Hz), two treble controls (10kHz & 20kHz) and also a loudness switch, and even a mute switch which doesn’t actually shut the volume but puts it way down so you can answer the phone and then still remember that the receiver was on after your call is over. It also has a tone override switch to turn on and off the tone controls to hear the before and after effects.
So is there a decent home theater receiver under $1K that has more extensive tone controls then just a single bass and single treble control? Or do I need to get an equalizer or something else?
Thanks,
