I just got my AVR 254 and hooked it up. I have the Polk RM6750 5.1 speakers. I observe that to get decent volume while watching DVD or HD cable TV, I need to keep the volume level at around -30 db or (around 55 in the 0 - 100 scale). And this is if i want to hear normal sound that is NOT AT ALL loud enough to wake up anyone sleeping in the next room! I was expecting that 254 would be more loud. I havent jacked up the volume to the max and I dont know how much it could get to. But I would assume it is proportionate. Was I having too much expectation? Everything is factory default and I havent played with any setting at all.


But I have to say I am impressed with the quality!!!

i have the hk 254 and yes some times i do crank it to about 20db

but yes it does crank very good with out distortion

you do need to tweek some of the setings to get the best sound

but your room is diffrent so play around with it

i love it better than any brand in its price range

at night i run my 354 at -50 to -45dbm. If you have not pushed the receiver im not sure what the problem is or what you asking? Run the auto tuner it will make a difference.


20dbm nice. i start hurting my ears at around 10dbm.
