Are there any receivers w/ a built in equalizer that provides a good treble output. My Onkyo NR636 sound terrible when connected to Bose 901 speakers

The Onkyo TX-NR929 has Audyssey MultiEQ XT32. It is considerably more sophisticated than just an equalizer. It can take the nearly flat output of the 929 and manipulate it to compensate for anomalies in both your room and your speakers. Your 636 can do something similar, just not to the degree that the 929 can. Also I wouldn't attribute high frequency performance issues to the 636 first. I would first suspect tweeter or crossover issues in those older 901s.

I have the RTI4 and RTIA3 and love them both. I think the RTIA3's require a more capable receiver to power them which may explain why 3rdGen thought they didn't sound as good. I have mine biamped with the Denon 3808 and they sound spectacular. There are times when I listen to them thinking I couldn't possibly imagine a better sounding speaker for the kind of music I mostly listen to, which is minimal electro.

Eric...I actually returned this receiver and chose to go with the Sonos system. Sorry I am of no help. Good luck.

If you are getting unsatisfactory sound from two separate sources it has nothing to do with the set. I have the same shouldn't and it sounds fine to me. I would suggest going into your equalizer settings and adjusting until you find the amount of treble you like.

Congrats on your equipment. I am using UPA-200 for stereo only. I love the sound, uncolored and dynamic. Technically you can use front left and Right pre-out on your receiver to connect UPA. I use to have couple Onkyo receivers and i believe they sound similar to Emotiva. But considering 818s power for each channel I do not think you'll have any benefits adding UPA.

This might not be the answer you want since I have never heard either, but this Yamaha sounds better than the Bose wave iii , which I mentioned in my review. I also have a recent model Onkyo mini system, which sounds quite good, but the Yamaha beats it out also. I think the Yamaha is well worth the price!

Dear Adam,Thanks for your inquiry. There are a variety of options for you in the Polk, JBL, Infinity, Pioneer and Sony speaker line that will fall into your budget and give you fine performance. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Oh, one more thing--make sure your Sansui receiver has a phono input!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Contact Bose. They have it in stock. Or check Amazon, they have the Bose RC-PWS II for $30. I have both, and they work fine in my system.

My last reciever,10yr old sony str825 w 5.1 dolby ,I think,, had more power , but did not have the surround effect as the onkyo .We just love it for movies.. No issues yet with functions.

My 2 cents - If you just fried up the Bose 3-2-1, just get a new receiver and you should be able to use the speakers in 3-2-1 mode. ORGo to BJ's or Samsclub. My local BJ's has a Bose 3-2-1 or an Bose 3-2-1 like system with Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver (2.1channel only), for 400 dollars.

When I bought my original Onkyo TX-NR801, I paired it with a set of Polk RM-7200's and they were AMAZING... Would highly recommend Polk speakers...

you must upgrade your interconnects for best response. I use balanced xlr connectors throughout my system. do the research go on line. amazon has a complete list of interconnects. the equalizer will be a hybrid' rca on one end xlr on the other. do the research, good luck

Hey Adam, Since this is a very good receiver, I went with Sonance In-wall Theatre-Cinema speakers all around t Center and they sound great with this receiver. It's worth spending a few more dollars on higher end speakers. Best of luck!

I dont know if there better than fluance i did check out those speakers but the jamo seemed like a better deal i like them a lot. The Onkyo receiver is ok as long as it is a 6 or 8 ohm.

Thanks P. Seto, I think I will try the same. However, I Checked out the Onkyo 605 at my local Best Buy ($499), but on Amazon ($408), and it looks like it could do some serious damage. My only gripe is that it only has 2 hdmi inputs. I may want to add a PS3 at a later date, which would have my entertainment system running 3 hdmi cables. Is True HD and Dolby Digital plus a huge difference with the onkyo receiver capable of this type of audio?

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

just got my 5600 today and set up was nice.. can not figure out for the life of me how to get sound out to my receiver.. My older sammy had a audio out RCA connection. all i see with this is digital optical or something like that.. tried the head phone jack with one of the supplied 3-1 cables and no sound..any advise appreciated.
