Prem, if you are not satisfied with the speakers or the stands, return them.
Pay another 5 grand for larger louder machines if volume is
your main concern. But if your couch is actually 20+ feet away from your main speakers, then the volume issue is obvious.
Keep in mind that pushing your volume to really high levels will eventually result in distortion which can send any of your speakers buzzing.To suggest that the buzzing is a "general issue with the S8s" is a bit of a premature generalization don't you think?
