Question about Yamaha R-N803d
R-N803D compatible with Bose Accoustimass 5 II? Hello installation professionals... I have the following question. Swapped my old Technics with the Yamaha. The Technics was connected to the Bose. Wonderful sound and bass. Now with the Yamaha the bass (subwoofer) almost doesn't sound anymore. I connected with normal speaker cable and the same as before with the Technics. I.e. Speaker A from the Yamaha with the cables to the Bose subwoofer, then from the Bose subi to the small Bose Böxli. Somehow this combination doesn't make sense? Probably similar to what has already been described here, i.e. I would have to use normal passive speakers instead of the Bose Accoustic Mass? That would be a real pity... merci for feedback.
Helpful answer
I use the Yamaha Receiver R-N803D with 2 x speakers from Dali (Oberon 3). If you turn up the bass control on the Yamaha receiver, the bass comes across strongly. Nothing vibrates and the sound remains crystal clear.
This combination is absolutely brilliant for us.
I recommend connecting your Bose speakers directly to the Yamaha receiver. I am of the opinion that the speaker cables must be of high quality (I have the Oehlbach SP25 without any cable lugs). However, it could well be that passive speakers would work better.
Good luck with the trial and error.
Unfortunately, you did not write which Bose Accoustic Mass you are using.
Do I understand you correctly that the speakers are active speakers? Or just the sub.
If possible, I would connect the subwoofer directly to the subwoofer output of the amplifier and the loudspeakers to terminals A and B.
So that the amplifier is the crossover.
I'm running old Brower and Wilkins 705 and happy as I am with a cheap stereo amp that is really good and can handle high quality speakers.
