Bass mgmt on RSX-1055

[simonb68]

Hi.

I apologise if this is common knowledge, but I have read quite a lot on this issue here and on HTF, and am still not entirely sure. Does the bass management issue affect the RSX-1055? If so, I do not have a sub and my fronts are set to large, rears to small. What, if any, impact does the problem have in this setup?

Thanks
Simon

The basemanagement is identical between the 1055 and 1066 but since you don't have a sub you have nothing to worry about.

Andrew,

what if I have a SUB ? I went through lots of posts, but I don't quite understand the problem.

Thanks.

Try reading this thread for Dre's excellent bass management report.

That still doesn't really explain the problem for most people. Can anyone explain it simply?

Am I right when I say the main problem is that the sub is either on or off for all sources? In other words it can't be on for 5.1 and off for 2ch without making the change manualy?

as I understand it everything works fine for DD and DTS and works as it should for 2 channel so long as you either set your mains to small or run them as large but set your sub to off. The biggest issue is with the multichannel inputs where bass is sent to any speaker set to small as well as the LFE channel so you get a doubleing of bass in those speakers. The problem here though is that there's no set in stone standard for bass management on analog inputs
