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.

would the inefficiency of 88db have something to do with it?
