I ran Audessey on my Onkyo today. After all got over, I checked setup -> sp. configuration and saw Aud. has auto set all the x-overs, distances, etc. Then, I turned bass to +10 dB, I had to set LFE to 120 Hz (max allowed). Then and only then only when I put my ears to the sub-woofer can I detect some sound, i.e the bass playing. I had Paradigm same model earlier, it has a deep bass. I am getting ZILCH. Sound is coming - but extremely low, hardly audible. There's no boom whatsoever. The sub-woofer has 2 inputs as I stated - L & R. If I switch my input RCA to "R", then nada everything goes silent - the sub-woofer absolutely becomes quiet. My x-overs as set by Audessey is front: 100Hz., center: 120Hz and surround: 150Hz. Yes, I removed DIRECT and switch on All channels mode.
