ONKYO TX-NR905


Hi all!

Anyone of you have the TX-NR905 receiver? I have a quick question about this receiver. When I am listening to either PURE AUDIO or DIRECT, I don't hear any sound coming out of the subwoofer. The PURE AUDIO and DIRECT sounds really good but no bass. I am using THX certified satellite speakers all around in a 5.1 setup. All my 5.1 speakers are small and can not produce bass. That's why I have a subwoofer.

Thanks for any advice!!!

Dlcockrum - You are correct, nothing is perfect. Back than, I thought Onkyo products sucks! Now, they have improved the sound quality quite much and the styling design is probably the best I have seen on the Market. My complaints for the 905 are minor but so far, I really enjoy listening to it. Harman Kardon makes nice looking receivers as well especially their new Flagship receiver is coming out this year I believe.

Ericjcabrera - Thanks for the good the advice. The problem is that Atlantic Technology do not make floor standing speakers. HA HA HA

I am screwed!!! However, I can buy another Twin Polar surround speakers to match my surround speakers.

MORE COMPLAINTS AGAIN WITH ATLANTIC TECHNOLOGY!!!!

Why don't Atlantic Technology make floor standing speakers? Their THX Certified speakers sounds excellent! I previously owned the Energy Veritas V2.4i systems and it did sound anything close as good as the Atlantic Technology and costing a lot more than the Atlantic. Higher price speakers does not actually sound better in my experience anyway.
I am sure what are the specs for a full range speaker but below are the specs for my front speaker:

(2) 3" composite cone midrange

(1) 1" cloth dome tweeter

When I listen in Pure Audio and Direct, my front L/R speakers do sounds pretty good in the bass section. I know it will not pump out massive bass from a powered subwoofer but than again, neither can a floor standing speakers.
Atlantic Technology does make floor standing speakers.

Look under products for System 8200e THX Ultra 2 system
Joeyboynj - All their speakers sits on speaker stands. My L/R are the same. They sits on stands which stands about 49 inches tall and they do look like floor standing speakers. I don't consider speakers which sits on stands are full range floor standing speakers. They still consider satellite speaker to me. Again, I am not sure what is consider a full range floor speaker? Did you look at my specs for my L/R speakers?
