Yesterday I swapped the Marantz NR1607 with a Yamaha RX-v 781. This is clearly a very configurable receiver. While the Marantz kind of worked "out of the box", the Yamaha seems to require a lot more tweaking and since I am a VERY ignorant starter, I seem to be struggling a bit...
This morning I did my first test of listening to music through the receiver. I have at this stage a pair of Q Acoustics 3050 setup as front speakers. I preferred to spend all the budget I had on getting a decent receiver and even more decent pair of speakers. I will add in the future more speakers when money becomes available, but for now this is what I have (and I still need to get a CD player).
I went through the mic automatic setup script. I also adapted the impedance to 6 Ohm. However when i start playing my "test file" (Pink floyd Dark side of the moon FLAC 96 KHZ 24 bit), the music volume is just tremendous. I pretty much reduced the volume to "zero" and still the music is simply too loud. Surely I am doing something wrong here, but not sure what.....
