The issue you are seeing has to do with the gain, not the power. Every amp has different amount of gain. The position of the volume knob has profound effect on the psycho acoustics. Many people "think" the amp sound inferior when they see the volume turned up higher. Your speaker might very well need more powerful amps, but you should give it more time before making a hurried decision.
set up question cambridge
I recently purchased a cambridge 840e and 840w. My speakers are sonus faber grand piano home. My question is I need to set the volume control at the -30 level about 2'o clock leval to have any real volume to my speakers (scale -96 to zero). On my previous amp peachtree decco 50w the volume set at 9 o'clock was the same as the cambridge unit 200w. I checked the connections a couple of times and it appears to be correct. It just appears the cambridge unit has a somewhat muted sound or something is not right with the unit. Any reccomendations to trouble shoot this will be appreciated.
