Ok, so I calibrated all of my speakers, including the sub and things definitley sound better, a lot better. But here is where I still have a concern... To get my system to what I consider a "theater" level of sound, I have my receiver turned up to 70 out of 75(max) when watching 'The Last Samurai' final battle sequence. I can turn it up to max and really not even have it be what I would consider too loud. This is a little disturbing since my old speakers (which were pretty good but not great) would never go above 60 without being ear drum shattering.
So does this mean that I might need an amplifier because these speakers are just too beefy for my receiver? I'm not averse to that, I just would have thought that what I already have was enough to power these. Any thoughts, opinions appreciated!
BTW, part of the earlier problem was definitely a sub that was not properly calibrated and thus I didn't turn the entire stereo up loud enough to get the effect I wanted.
