Recently purchased the above amp and am still tinkering with the setup. Didn't audition the amp before and am finding it a little 'muffled' in sound compared to my old Yamaha amp. Also I am curious to know what level you listen to your audio sources at.

The volume range goes from -70 to +18db but I am finding I am listening at around -30db + to get a decent amount of volume.

Is this normal?
 
Thanks eviljohn. I was getting worried as my last amp had no visible means for knowing the volume level and the fact that I had to go to around -40db from -70db to get reasonable results was worring me. How do you find your sound?

Anybody else think the sound is muddy, stiffled or muffled?

I am running with a brand new set of MS premieres so they are probably not run in yet but your thoughts would be welcome.
 
I've had mine for approx 6 months and I've not noticed any muddiness to the sound, quite the opposite - I think the sound is very detailed. for casual viewing or late at night I listen at around -25db , during the day or for favourite films I listen at around reference level (0db).
 
Thanks, I think I may be listening to it to quitely at around -35 to -40db. I'll try turning it up a bit, altough most listening up until now has been with the kids in bed.
