audio research ls25 mk1 volume issue


Hi guys,
i am a proud owner of an arc ls25mk1.. amazing machine. my question is asimple one for all you guys who know the answer. i do not. I seem to have to turn the volume up past 12 oclock to get a decent volume. even higher for a little louder. i have checked the bias and its perfect. i have a pair of vtl mb 125 mono at 125 per channel and i have ascendo c7 speakers, they have a db rating of 88.. is this normal?
any help will be greatfully appreciated

With the highest gain setting selected, I'm always between 12:00 and 3:00 (LOUD!). LS25-> VT130SE -> Ohm 100+sub or Maggie SMG+sub or Verity Parsifal Encore. Just a somewhat back-ended attenuation scheme on this pre.
