In response to the sound levels being low on your amp. How can you tell what the level is supposed to be? When I first got my system I hooked everything up to my Yamaha avr for a couple of days just to check if there would be any overheating issues. Then I hooked everything up to the A-1400. To my ear without a meter, I couldn't really tell a difference between the two (going by my avr readout). So I switch to my front two M80's and centre to the A-1400 and the two surround M80's to the Yamaha and kept it that way. I think I'll have to find an spl meter before my new amp shows, I don't need any more problems. So I ask again, How do I know if the amp is putting out (sound wise - db's) it's supposed to?
