I have resolved this on my own. I tweaked some settings and got it where it needs to be. Because I'm listening to music at relatively low volume (most of the time) in my office, the volume wasn't high enough to really shine. I also changed the Adaptive DRC from off to auto, which apparently...

I did look for an existing thread on this, as I thought it would be a more common issue, but didn't see anything specific. I am a fan of Yamaha receivers and now have 3 in operation. My theater is a 5.1 and sounds great. My garage has a more basic 2.0 A/B setup for inside and outside of the...

Just an update on this... After ordering and testing two subs, I am now in agreement that subs just don't work outside. Both subs have been returned. I also moved my Yamaha 350s to inside the garage (the little Yamaha 150s I had in there are also going back). I splurged and got 2 Polk Atrium 8s...
