Question for Denon 2808ci owners

[OkoPeeKee]

Hello all,

Just set up my 2808 last night and it sounds good but it seems that I do not get to a nice, solid listening voulme until I reach around -20db. Does this seem a bit high? I have a pair of Polk RTi 10 towers. I have not done any speaker set-up (Audissy) yet but just wanted hook up my cd player via optical to check it out.

Thanks for any help or opinions.

I have a different Denon but normal volume can be anywhere between -30 - 0 or higher My model goes to +30 I almost never get it above -10. I would not worry about it. The speakers should be able to handle anything that you give it. I love my denon and I would not worry too much about the level, my wife worries that I might hurt something but your speakers should be able to handle it just fine.

The most important thing is to have all speakers at the same level, the relative number is (-20dB) is not that important. Normally, you should adjust the "0 dB" level to 75 dB. Check the Calibrating your audio with an SPL Meter thread, and adjust the levels using a SPL meter after running Audissey that way the "0 dB" relative level will be at 75 dB. By the way the reference level of 75 dB is really loud (for me at least).
