GFP-710 treble and bass control too suttle to be heard or?

Ok just got my GFP-710....sounds seem plenty plenty more refined and elegant.

But when ever I move the bass or treble they seem to almost not do anything are they very suttle in their control or might there be something wrong here?

    Do you have the tone bypass switch on?

    WOOOPSSS.....yup hit the "Tone In" button and walla.....
    I like it.
    Very nice...
    Seems like this combo really compliments the M10s...I can turn the bass down just a tad and treble up a little and wow it's as if there is a whole other level to the M10's I never heard before....much refined.

    Cranking the Police wrapped around your finger...in unbeleivable clarity...it's like they're right in front of me.

    Makes me want to run and get the RDO 198's....I can't imagine this experience getting better.

    I knew there had to be someone else out there who uses tone controls.I also like to turn up the treble cause lets be honest.Some CDs like the older ones need some added zip to em.I use the bypass output for vinyl though.

    God loves stereo...good clean, unaltered stereo. That's why God doesn't use tone controls.;)

    What kinda rig do you think God has? It's gotta be badass. It probably doesn't even have tone controls.:p
