Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Denon AVR-3313 - Sound not as good as I expected

Wow something was off ... All replies were getting the deep six

I was going to also add that at high volume the amp might not have the current to drive the M80. If that’s the case then an external amp would be needed.

Another idea ( if possible ) would be to try another receiver or integrated amp from a friend or if you have one , without any “ new school “ settings. Just a standard 2 channel stereo / receiver and see if that sounds different or better. Looking at your room you should be getting some reasonable bass and full range there.
Maybe it is the corridor that the bass is disappearing down there.....

My room is a bit bigger and with my m60ti’s I get some real quality bass from them, even at lower volumes. Crappy recordings not so much but when you put quality recordings in they really produce the bass nicely. I mention this bc you should be getting good bass in that room with those m80’s.

Keep trying, you’ll know it’s fixed when you hear it. You ok be like “ hell yea! That’s what I was expecting. !”

Good luck, keep us posted.

The other part of that comment is that by doing my idea above , you rule out the speakers as the problem if they sound better with another receiver in the same room all the other factors equal.
