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!!!

I am sure what are the specs for a full range speaker but below are the specs for my front speaker:

(2) 5-3/4" polypropylene woofer

(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?

Ideally, full range speakers run from 20 HZ to 20,000 HZ. +/- 3dbs.

Most full range speakers are lucky if they go down to 40 HZ. So I would look for something in that range. 40 HZ – 20K HZ. More expensive speakers and usually big one will go full range.

You are right about the stands part. I did not notice that...
