A few months ago I purchased a Kenwood HTiB system that included the VR-715 receiver + speakers and subwoofer. I find myself having to crank the audio from -92dB to -30 or more to get the loudness I desire. Is this normal? Maybe a factor of the speakers (probably cheap)? I mean, from -92 to -60 or so audio is pretty much non existent to me. I know I could buy some better speakers. I do have 2 Sony speakers from an older stereo system(1994 or so) that I could maybe use as the front surround speakers. Any input appreciated. Thanks
