I just got a pair of 705's to upgrade from 601 s3's that I was using in my HT/Audio system. I use a Yamaha receiver, sony cd player, HSU 12" sub B&W LCR60 ctr, Boshe ton Acoustics in wall surrounds. The front speakers are wired with home made CAT5 wire, bi-wired with 9 strands going to ea. channel.
The 705's sounded okay until I turned off the sub to see how they sounded by themselves with music and was totally dissapointed. They had NO BASS. I checked the woofers to see they were moving and they were. I also checked the phasing and it was correct. My receiver has the front mains set to large. Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong here or are these speakers that lacking in bass? After spending $1500 for these, I expected to be really blown away fronm their sound but that hasn't been the case. The highs and midrange are pretty good. How long before these should be broken-in? I've had them for a week.
Thanks,
Rob
