#84390 - 08/01/10 03:55 PM Too much bass
AARONMADLER Gunslinger Registered: 12/12/06 Posts: 169 Loc: Needham, MA	I just configured the 990 to "large" with my Vanderstein 2's. Everything sounds great, but there is too much bass. The bass is overpowering. Please let me know what I might do to correct this problem. The bass is excessive even with my Hsu subwoofer turned off. Thank you in advance, Aaron _________________________ Outlaw 990/7700, Oppo DV-981HD, Gallo S.A.Amp, Nucleus Ref. 3.1, AV C, AV M, TR-2, Paradigm Atom, Pioneer PDP-4214HD, Mtrola DCT6200/2005 Outlaw 990, Aragon 8008X3, 8008, Denon 3930CI, Dahlquist DQ20, Outlaw LFM-1+, Paradigm Atom, Mtrola DCT3416 I

Since all of the bass is coming from the V-2s, you might want to experiment with their placement. Have you tried setting the 990 to "Small" with a Xover of 60 or 80hz. That would take the V-2s out of the picture at least temporarily so you could compare the effects. Make sure your bass and treble controls a set to neutral so you are not artificially boosting the bass. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	One possibility is that you'd have the sub set to "LFE+L/R" - that doubles-up bass from both fronts and sub - but if it happens even with the sub off, I don't think that's your problem. Placement adjustment would be worth trying, as would a small setting and a 40Hz or maybe 60Hz crossover. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

AARONMADLER Gunslinger Registered: 12/12/06 Posts: 169 Loc: Needham, MA	Hello Gonk - Thank you very much for your ideas. I will try them as well. Since there are only two speakers, I will try bypass and stereo modes and make sure that the treble and bass are neutral. I will try the crossover as well as the placement upon your recommendation. Thanks again, Aaron _________________________ Outlaw 990/7700, Oppo DV-981HD, Gallo S.A.Amp, Nucleus Ref. 3.1, AV C, AV M, TR-2, Paradigm Atom, Pioneer PDP-4214HD, Mtrola DCT6200/2005 Outlaw 990, Aragon 8008X3, 8008, Denon 3930CI, Dahlquist DQ20, Outlaw LFM-1+, Paradigm Atom, Mtrola DCT3416 I
