Hi Guys,
I would like to hear your advise to see if my current AVR is starving of wattage? I have recently upgraded my front speakers and added height speaker to run as 5.1.2, here's what I have.
Denon AVR-X1200watts (80watts per channels)
Klipsch 650 THX L/R 150-650watts
Klipsch 525 THX Center 100-400watts
Klipsch 525 THX surround 100-400watts
Top Height 80-200watts
SVS PB-1000 Sub (active)
Previously with a Bose 301 as L/R, I was getting decent volume at about 55-60db on the Denon... but it seem with the new Klispch 650, I have to crank it to 65db or even higher to get the same volume.... I know my AVR is under power, but is it really really that bad? The other thing is, I am not getting much bass when listening to musics, in movies mode the subwoofer is good, but when listening to musics, seem like the sub is only out putting half the power.
Am I safe to go up to 80db on my Denon without risking damaging the speakers (like most people talk about? clipping?)
Any suggestion?
