So I fetched my CRS speakers out of the closet and hooked them up to the fairly heavy duty spring clip connectors on the back of my newly acquired Harmon Kardon HK-730 receiver. Backwards. Not really paying attention, I hooked the right channel speaker up to the right set of connectors, and the left to left. Wrong. Counter-intuitively, the connector pairs are reversed on the back panel. Plainly marked, but ignored by me.
After reversing my mistake, I listened and could not believe the quality of sound produced by this receiver. The CRS's were hitting low notes like never berfore - even as they were pulled away from the rear wall by about 2 feet. Quick, punchy bass. Mids and highs were smooth but also very articulate. Lots of detail. And bare in mind, this is through an old Onkyo 6 disc changer with cheap ICs and Walmart speaker cable. (not proud, but...) I am very impressed by this HK.
Will try it on the SRS2's later and report back.
