I am struggling with the set up a little bit.. tried Audyssey setup and it seems to be ok but the sounds are not very loud. I ran a few hrs of music to break in the audio, tested out a movie but i need to crank up my receiver to 90% of its volume to get to hear the dialog clearly.. I think the BR player is restricting the audio going to the receiver somehow (i am currently using hdmi cable to get audio from BR player to receiver). Plus maybe i am not setting up my receiver correctly.

When i am listening to music, it seems much better with the volume issue (ie. don't need to crank it up to 90% of the volume to get good volume).

Appreciate if any users have similar set up can provide some tips/guidances... Thanks!!

I'll wait and see what others will post who may own an AVR-4xxx series receiver. But, that the speakers are capable of ear-splitting volume (I have most of them) with perfect clarity. I know I had to change my Blu-ray player settings by turning off compression and making sure it was PCM (my AVR-2807 won't decode Blu-ray HD audio). Make sure the room is very very quiet for Audyssey as well.
