So after unsucessfully attempting to repair my klipsch promedia ultra subwoofer/amp, I bought a yamaha rx-v365 receiver and a bic v1020 subwoofer, retaining the klipsch speakers. Either something I bought is defective, or my expectation for what the bass would be like was way too high. I have to set the LFE level setting on the receiver as high as it goes, add +6db (out of 10db) to the bass tone control, and crank the volume to 8 or 9 on the subwoofer in order to get only mediocre levels of bass. If I go any higher with the volume on the woofer, the bass gets muddled. Is this normal?
The bass on the promedia set up (while it worked) was capable of going much louder and deeper than what I have now.
