Would this not mean I'd have to set the volume knob to double on the Denon to achieve the same SPL?



Hi,

I have quized Tom and fisrt he says that it is not a good practice to use XLR to RCA adaptors; secondly you are right it would be a 6dB drop. The adjustement on the Denon volume knob will depend on its gain structure.

Next time, you don't hear back from me, please, do not hesitate to email me at jc@axiomaudio.com
