Maybe someone here can help. I just got a pair of brand new RP-280F's and an Emotiva S8. I've hooked all 3 up to a brand new Denon X2400h (no setup done). The sound completely lacks mids and lows. Perhaps the lack of lows is due to needing a bigger sub, so that's fair, but the mids are gone. I tested some RP-280f's setup in Best Buy and they sounded the same.
I was hoping the sub would fill out the sound, as the highs are great. When listening to jazz, higher octave bass is lost, and when listening to classical (like Strauss) trombones, basses, and cellos are non-existant.
Am I doing something wrong? It requires a tv and the tv doesn’t arrive until next weekIt appears something is definitely amiss. As@suggests, the RP-280F's should sound great.so start with ensuring the basic connections are correct. Then begin the process of elimination with the simplest configuration.i.e. Only the AVR and the 280's.w/o the S8. Understand that properly setting up and blending a subwoofer to mains requires a combination of art and skill. Also, if I understood correctly, there was no difference using either AVR.
If this was the case, then you'll need to try another set of speakers to ensure the 280's are not defective. What's a bit puzzling is your mention of the 280's at BB sounding similar. In any case, as@mentioned, it's necessary to run Audyssey/YPAO to properly set up the system. If your TV is arriving late next week, you could possibly borrow a small TV set from someone or even buy and return an inexpensive one to complete the set up. Lastly, it would be rare, but it's possible you just don't like the sound of the 280's. Regardless, good luck with your troubleshooting. Hopefully, you'll find what's causing the issue so you can enjoy your new RP-280's.

I'll do more digging tomorrow and run Audyssey. I've already redone every connection. Sound is pretty much the same on both receivers, correct. I did go find them at Best Buy on a Sony AVR and they also were pretty thin, ya. I'm just very confused.
My wife isn't an audiophile, but I just put my Bose Soundlink III in the middle of the two RP-280Fs, attached the same iphone, with the same lightning adapter, to them, and the sound to night and day better. Out of a tiny speaker. The blend was fantastic.
The bass really came through, and the mids were clear. She literally told me to just buy another one of those and return everything else. It's pretty disappointing.As for the sub, I tried it without the sub as well, but it seems silly that a tiny Bose can literally play louder mids and bass. I am sure I can EQ some of it, but I think the EQ will need to be a pretty sharp slope for it to sound neutral.p.s. We aren't listening to anything too bass heavy either.
Vocal jazz, orchestral, musicals, and some pop. Definitely things where mid bass matters. I'll do more digging tomorrow and run Audyssey. I've already redone every connection.

Definitely things where mid bass matters.There so much to question. The first would be did you buy the speakers on the internet? Honestly, I would have gone to BestBuy BEFORE purchasing them. That way you could have a more informed opinion on how they were going to sound and/or ask questions and experiment as you did afterward.Second, in the scenario above, I really question setup in so many ways it's hard to respond. I definitely don't think it's an EQ issue if the Bose were 'night and day,' better.
If it were me I would take the Klipsch back. Btw, I definitely feel it could be a setup issue but if you have already gone to the trouble of hooking up 2 AVRs and several sets of speakers I can't imagine them improving that drastically, regardless what you do. That said, if you played the Bose and the Klipsch at the same SPL and the Bose sounded as you describe I gotta think something was wrong (defective) with the Klipsch speakers.

Given that everything is setup correctly and the 280's are not defective, there could be another explanation. Are you and your wife used to listening to the Soundlink III? If this is the case, everything you listen to will be relative to the Bose. Some speakers, especially smaller ones, are purposefully designed to emphasize bass and mid bass. Other speakers, by contrast would then seem to sound flat.but in reality more accurate. If this were to be true, then it's a matter of adjusting to more accurate speakers.or not depending on your preference and tastes. Isn't this hobby great!
Every step we take gets us a little closer but never quite reaches nirvana! Atmos awaits you!It would cost me a lot of money to just upgrade for atmos which includes upgrading prepro, more speakers, etc. I will probably do that same time I do 4K player and projector.or could be sooner depending on how fast I want to see my bank acct go broke. I have thought about cheap AVR for atmos processing but I have 12 channels of external amp power that even AVR could be waste of money and not use the onboard amps? And it would have to sound as good or better than my Rotel prepro.Here are pics of the newly added RP160s for my 7.2 layout. And yes those are dual svs pb13s right behind the couch.

YMMVI keep thinking he will come back and say the factory jumpers were missing, or something easily overlooked. I am at the stage that what is coming out of my speakers is sublime and the only real upgrade is going to come in the form of advancing coding technology. Yes, I am very tempted to go the Atmos route but probably won't until my Denon AVR-4311ci bites the dust.At that time I will look for a NIB slightly discontinued AVR that suits my needs.I can definitely identify with that scenario. I held on to my Denon 5600 for a lot of years waiting for it to 'bite the dust,' but unlike many of today's pieces, it never did! Ultimately, I sold it to upgrade to HDMI and simultaneously upgraded to Klipsch.
Currently, the Denon X7200WA would meet your criteria. But if you have the patience to wait a couple more years, the Marantz SR8012 (11 channels) or the impending availability of Denon's X8500H (13 channels) would be good candidates for replacing your 4311. As far as codecs are concerned, 3D sound (Atmos/DTS:X, Auro) is the real deal but an important consideration for upgrading at this point is HDMI 2.1 (significant bandwidth increase-ready for 8K) which probably won't be a standard and implemented at the factory until 2019. Meanwhile, although I invested in Atmos over a year ago, I'm looking to upgrade my AVR but am undecided whether to pull the trigger now, look for a short term solution, or wait another year. You know, real world problems! It would cost me a lot of money to just upgrade for atmos which includes upgrading prepro, more speakers, etc.

And yes those are dual svs pb13s right behind the couch.Very nice room and upgrade! And yes.I can certainly identify with your position as well! And it's fortunate that many of us have the discretionary spending at some point to upgrade. Having said this, my upgrade bug bit last year when I upgraded my PJ to faux 4K.
Although I would have liked a true 4K PJ, ala Sony, I could not bring myself to spend 10K (5K now) at the time. I found the Epson to be fantastic.major improvement in brightness, color, resolution, and sharpness.not at all disappointed. And the upscaling of 1080 material to 4K is absolutely breathtaking! WRT to your Rotel prepro and external amps, I can appreciate your position.
It sounds like it will be a matter of waiting for a quality prepro.perhaps Rotel, Marantz, or Emotiva? Yeah, I'm thinking he must be used to the sound profile of the Bose. My Rp-280f put out plenty of bass, and sound great otherwise, and I don't even use Audyssey above 500 Hz. There is no doubt that my 4 SVS sb12-nsd sound better than the RP-280f do in the bass, but that's to be expected.Thanks, all!
Did the Audyssey setup today and it certainly made a night and day difference. That said, it's still pretty weak on mids and the bass is pretty weak on the top end. For instance, listening to Queen, I'm getting very little bass line in many songs, as the bass lines are a little higher pitched. Other music, like current pop, however has nice strong bass. I've ordered an SVS SB-2000 to either replace or complement the Emotiva S8 in hopes that this will balance out the low end. Any more recommendations for some color in the mids? I'm running a 2.1 setup (soon to be 2.2) but I could place two smaller 'surrounds' further out along the same wall.
The RP-280f are about 6 feet apart now, due to other furniture, but I have room for something smaller as well. There isn't much space to run wires to the sides of my listening area. Again, I do appreciate all the help! Did the Audyssey setup today and it certainly made a night and day difference.

Thanks!I'm glad they improved, another sub will help. Have you tried to move them around any? 6' apart is pretty close. How far from the wall?
You might play with placement, toe in. Did the Audyssey setup today and it certainly made a night and day difference.

Other music, like current pop, however has nice strong bass.I'm sorry but that 'night and day difference,' still has me baffled. I also think if there is that big of a discrepancy on material it also could be the source you are getting it from.If on your AVR there is a setting called 'Dynamic Volume,' set that to OFF.That said, I am a big Queen fan and if you play 'Another one bites the dust,' and your speakers sound anemic then something is definitely wrong.Just curious, when you ran Audyssey what did it set the gains/trim levels of your speakers? Exclusively for movies3. $300-$700 for sub maybe $300-$400 for sidesor if i use my bookshelfs as sides and have no surrounds then i will pour entire budget into 2 subsFwiw, sides are surrounds and if you sit in between/parallel to those I would consider another bookshelf to add as rears.If you have several rows of seats or various seated positions that aren't in line you may want to get a pair of Klipsch WDST speakers as surrounds and put the bookshelves in the rear. If you don't have much room in the back then I would keep 5.1 and get a better subwoofer and in that price range others may have a good recommendation. I'm glad they improved, another sub will help.

They are toed in slightly, yes, and I sit about 9' away normally, though room is probably 30' long and 11' wide in total. I do, however, have room to add small bookshelf speakers along the same wall.
The speakers are the sides of a fireplace, and there will nice be a nice 65' TV over the fireplace. No room for a center.

Key to best bass performance is first proper placement and then proper trim/tuning/setup.especially if attempting to integrate two subs and more so when integrating two different subs.
First, no disrespect intended but IMO it's dubious that an 8' sub would add performance value to your RP-280F's which already has two 8' drivers. I'm confident you'll will find the 12' SB-2000 to be a far more capable sub in terms of output, extension, and sound quality. Lastly it's usually not predictable to determine how well two dissimilar subs will integrate until you actually try it. In this regard, the best place for subwoofer setup advice is in the sub threads and particularly in the SVS owners thread.
And for a great start, I would recommend reading an excellent guide posted by@who is knowledgeable contributor. Good luck with your pursuit!

Should you elect the Klipsch WDST 'surrounds,' the RS-42 II or RS-52 II, which match your generation speakers, are still available. Otherwise, the equivalent newer generation 'surrounds' are the RP-240s and RP-250s.
WRT to subwoofers, there are many capable subs within your budget from HSU, Klipsch, Rythmik, PSA, and SVS. As I'm biased toward SVS, my recommendations for your room size, movie application, and budget would be the PB-2000 or PC-2000 depending on your preference for footprint and form factor. The matching surrounds are within your budget and the subs are only slightly higher. For reproducing the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) in today's blockbuster movies, it's imperative to buy the best performing sub your budget allows.you won't regret it! Ceptorman is absolutely correct!

As a note, I just used AirPlay on the Denon, which for some reason didn't use the sub and there was basically no bass. Now, that could be because it's using an EQ expecting a sub, but I can definitely say there is no bass from these.
