Denon 2807 Setup question

[Walldiver77]

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I have a brand new 2807. This is replacing a 20 year old plus receiver... needless to say, I'm behind the times.

Question: How to I manually boost the bass output to the speakers?

I am running a really low grade of mixed speakers right now while waiting on my new ones to arrive. (The funny thing is.... my 20 year-old rec. drove theses old speakers great. They had very low freq. response.)

I have run through the set up and I really don't like how flat the speakers are sounding. No Sub, just 5 speakers currently.

Thanks for the help!

There is manual EQ capability in 2807 it's in the manual someplace. If you ran Audyssey Auto EQ, and you want to tweak the results of that, you can not. You need to switch from Audyssey to manual eq and go from there.

Without sub you should set the mains to large or all to large if they are full freq/range speakers. Otherwise your speakers will not receive the lower freq's. After adding a powered sub set spkrs to small and use recvr's crossover to direct low freq's to sub. BTW...what spkr's did you get?

Without a sub, the receiver will not let you set the mains to small.

Thanks for the help: yes the all the speakers are set to large. However, the low freq. response is poor (as compared to the old rec.).

I bought the AV123's Xseries speakers. I have the ULW 10 sub coming with those. Unfortunately, the speakers won't arrive until after Thanksgiving ... sometime.

I will do some reading about the manual EQ settings!

20+ years ago, people seemed to be far more into bass The Denon's auto-setup will give you a flat response. To many people coming from old systems, this translates to "bass-deprived." To a modern audiophile sort, it means "faithful bass reproduction." It's looking at the same apple from different sides of the table.

Ultimately, it'll all be more tweakable when your new speakers arrive as you can independently boost the subs volume (if you must) while still keeping Audyssey in place.
