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

Another thought. Try to cycle through the low, medium, high knob several times. Make sure the volume is all the way down. That's a relay driven device and maybe it's stuck.

The specs on your CD player show an output of 0-2.2v. I am assuming that it has a varible volume control on the output. Have you tried turning it up from the CD remote?

The setting for your phono system seems right to me.
