This might be my next amp.

The balance is more bass-heavy than in previous generations too, and some might want to dial a little of that out from time to time,

What does that mean? Are you saying the frequency response is boosted at the lower end or the high end has been suppressed? Is not the measured response flat?

I took it as simply meaning to turn the sub down from time to time.

But why? Does the AVR boost the bass for some reason, more so than other models? That statement really confuses me.
