I too own a Yamaha receiver (RX-V2095). I have heard people complain about thier brightness. I happen to like detail , which is what I call it. I am also looking at the Paradigms but don't want to turn the slight brightness of my amp into harshness. Are Paradigms and Yamahas a decent combo? What about Dynaudio Audience 51 or NHT 2.5i? I tried B&W and found the 603s2 too muddy and the CDM7se bright with rubbery bass. Yes I know, speakers are VERY subjective. Just looking for a little insight. Thanks!
