Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Questions about my new receiver.

Cam, welcome. As the previous replies indicated, the setting of the volume control on different receivers is no indication of their relative power capabiliies; it's simply a question of how the control is calibrated by the manufacturer. For example, it's entirely possible that a 60 watt unit would provide a louder sound at its 50% setting than would a 120 watt unit, but the 120 watt unit still would have the capability to play a brief peak 3dB louder.
