Receiver Power Question - Blu-ray Forum

Pelican170 · 12-17-2008, 04:31 PM

Ok, I have an Onkyo which is now a few years older. Lately it seems that i am turning it up louder and louder as time goes on to get it to the same level that I would normally listen to. Any suggestions of what might cause this? I have everything plugged into a Panamax 5300 so the power levels seem fine. Also, I believe the receiver has 105 watts per channel, if i went to something like a 606, that only has 90 watts per channel, would that mean i would be turning it up even further? Watching movies now im at -5 - -10 db's... Any help or advice would be good, thanks..

Could be hearing loss, time does that to all of of us.. sorry just had to throw that one out

anything 85db is damaging.

Might be speaker wire oxidation. Strip your speaker cable ends and see if that helps.
