I wonder how much of the treble problem isn't a room issue more than an amp issue. I doubt that Onkyo would design a flaw like that into their amp.
Review: Onkyo M-508 Amplifier
Category: Amplifiers
I like the way sound decays on this amp - it gives a luxurious feel to it. The color is not neutral though - it has a forward sounding treble, while pretty, can sound fatiguing with a strong tweeter. It looks nice enough. I think some of the top end Japanese products are ok (denon, yamaha, onkyo). You might be pleasantly surprised. Some reviewer compared it to sunfire amps. If you can pick one up for a few hundred dollars, it might just be your ticket to audio nirvana at a reasonable price - I love the luxurious feel of this amp.
