I have the BHK preamp and my amp is the Pass Labs xa30.8 and it’s only 30 watts per channel and my speakers are Eminent Technolgy LFT8B’s which are very inefficient (83 dB)! My average listening level is #30 on the display on the preamp, if I go to 35 it starts to get pretty loud and if I turn it up to 40, that is too loud. I don’t listen at head banger levels either. I think there is something wrong with you preamp. I would send it back to PS Audio and have them look at it if it’s not too expensive. Good luck.
