It's not that you'll necessarily want it to be louder with new speakers, but rather that you won't have to turn the volume setting up so high to get the same volume or more. With my Onkyo speakers, I had intellivolume set at +3 and every speaker channel set at +3 or +5 and listened to blu-rays with the volume set at about 75 (out of 99). Now I have everything set at 0 and listen to blu-ray's at about 65 and it's still louder than it was before because the new speakers are so much more efficient.
