i recently got a pair of floorstanding speakers - kef c5. i attached them to my rxv 361 yamaha reciver and played some music. i was surprised to find out that the bass sounds terrible and distorted. in some songs the bass sounds like very loud low car horn. i know that the c5 didnt get very good reviews but still, i cant believe that thats their quality. can the recivers be the cause? if not - any ideas for the problem? if yes - can you recommend a good reciver for them? thank you!
