What is the warmest receiver...


Hi... wondering what is warmest sounding mid-price receiver (closest to tube sound if that is even possible) for somewhat bright sounding speakers with ribbon tweeters.

Denon
Harman
Onkyo
Rotel
Yamaha

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Denon ,Yamaha and Rotel are pretty close from what I have heard in this area. Maybe Rotel edges the others by a hair ..who knows thou!

Good Luck!
Rotel is the only "warm" one in the bunch. I can't complain about Denon sound but if you put bright sound into it, it will come out bright.
You may have to look into some british integrated amps?
Is the receiver going to see duty as a multi-channel processor/amp for movies or will it be used in a two channel system only?

If you're looking for a music only amp and can do without a tuner consider the 100wpc Jolida 1501 RC which uses a tube preamp section and solid state amplification. They go for around $750 new.

Good luck!
