Paradigms not producing enough lows ????

I have a set of Paradigm 60's being driven by a Pioneer Elite 110W x 7.1 receiver. The speaker are bi-amped. I do not have a sub nor center channel yet.

When playing music or movies there are NO lows at all!! I have reset the Pioneer so that all EQ setting are at default levels. Yesterday, I tried using the speakers along with the internal speakers on the TV and the TV actually filled in the sound that was lacking on the Paradigms. Obviously the Paradigms produce a much cleaner more appealing sound, but no lows.

Am I destined to buy a sub to fill things in? I'm not talking about the ultra lows, but even the lower tones of voices seemed missing.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Something is not set correctly in your receiver.
If the speakers are set to "small" no lows will go to them.
Also try just running them as a single speaker with a jumper, rather than biamping and see what that does.
(In my HT I have Canton CD300's and the largest driver is 3" in diameter, and I get pretty good bass...)

Wow! I have 3 of them and they have plenty(!) of bass in my room. They are single-wired. Could there be something amiss with your bi-wiring?
