audio research ls25 mk1 volume issue


Hi guys,
i am a proud owner of an arc ls25mk1.. amazing machine. my question is asimple one for all you guys who know the answer. i do not. I seem to have to turn the volume up past 12 oclock to get a decent volume. even higher for a little louder. i have checked the bias and its perfect. i have a pair of vtl mb 125 mono at 125 per channel and i have ascendo c7 speakers, they have a db rating of 88.. is this normal?
any help will be greatfully appreciated

The Main Output is selectable for each input: 18db, 12dB, 6dB for the Balanced outputs and 12dB, 6dB, 0dB for SE output.

Have you checked to see what the gain settings for EACH input are? That should solve your problem.
