Stupid Newbie Bass Question

Okay all you audiophiles and aficionados- when you watch local and network TV (HD broadcasts) does your bass sound boomy like you're in a freeking flea market? My recently resurrected set-up sounds great with DVD's and movies on DTV, but LFE's are boomy and bloated during commercials, & news, all HD.

I have a 7.1 set-up, NHT VT-2 Towers, VS-2 Center Channel, iC4 x 4 in-ceiling (side + rear surrounds). All powered by a Denon 3803 and NHT SA3 sub amp to bi-amp the side-firing subs on the VT-2's.

Maybe I need to adjust the high-pass, low-pass and phase controls on the back of the SA3? I find adjusting this amp confusing as hell.

Sounds great w/ HD movies and CD's. Maybe it's just my system delivering crappy sound accurately. Thoughts?

+1Mceljo. Welcome 760raptor. No question is stupid so when your about to upgrade it's always nice to run it up the pole. Taking the time to list your system in your profile is worth the effort.

Many audio video receivers are changing in what seems like a monthly basis so don't rush to make up your mind. IMO an AVR should be your next move. HDMI, room correction, and 7.1 matrixing are going to be a pleasant surprise.
