Missouri Post Number: 2610 Registered: Dec-06 | I have recently purchased a Pioneer Elite Vsx-91txh and it certainly demonstrates much improved sound quality at all levels compared to the old receiver. That is, of course, why I purchased it. The problem is that the bass has no power to it at any level. This is a problem of the speakers, and so I must augment them with a subwoofer. I recently changed the audio output on my computer from analog to digital as I decided the DACs in my receiver would be superior to those in the computer. They are. I have made sure all audio files on my computer are at least 256kb/s. This has improved it, but there's something wrong. Help. |

Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2614 Registered: Dec-06 | Ok I decided to do the math because I'm bored. The one I designed has 650 cubic inches of displacement in the drivers. The one you're joking around about has 106 cubic inches, providing my math is correct. That's funny that those 2.5" drivers could have that much displacement. |
