I recently got a new receiver a H/K avr-430 right after getting it I wanted to go 7.1 So I ordered a full set of Axiom speakers. I love the sound of both very clean even my wife noticed how much better it sounded. My problem is this. When I turn the receiver to -15 and start using the SPL to setup the speakers I have to turn them all upto +10 just to get them upto around 73db. This doesnt seem right did I make a mistake on the receiver purchase? everything I read about the HK was that it was high badwith power and very underated. In the end I turned the my Main M22i's down to about 7-8 and turned the VP150 upto 10 to try to equal up the sound because the M22's seem alot brighter and louder than the VP150. Any tips anyone could give would be great. It all sounds great but not quite as loud as I think it should be and it worrys me that I have to turn everthing up to +10 to get 70ish db at neg 15.
