EAD lacks power compared to Sherbourn

I just picked up and EAD Powermaster 1000. It is replacing a sherbourn 5/1500a. The EAD has a cleaner and more musical sound but has a much lower output (volume). They are both rated 200 wpc. I'm wondering if I bought a problem. It sounds good but I'm running my prepro (Sunfire TGII) at a much higher level...is there a way do a simple check with a volt meter?
Thanks

The spec on the EAD manual says .5v rms...and the impedance is 20k- is there a different #. A question that may provide benefit to others is...Is there a way to test this for diagnostics?

I'm running movies at ~ -20bd (whatever that means).

Hey Sean,
The speakers are Seas driven DIY based on the Odin Mk3- this is essentially the Tyler Linbrook. I recently purchased the EAD used from an audiogoner. I've heard that EAD is not too good with customer service. I was considering bringing it to Music Lovers in Berkeley for a check up. I does sound very good- just seems to lack the punch.
