Ok so I am new here, I have been into home theater stuff for about 10 years now and I still don't know enough. I just upgraded my yamaha reciever to a new yamaha rx-v467. I got it at bestbuy. So the reason I uograded is cause I noticed about 5 years ago that I had to crank the volume on the reciever more than half way to get it loud enough to my liking. I don't know how that can happen from one day to the next but whatever. So now 5 years later I upgraded. I have boston acoustic speakers and sub. The front are book shelf size speakers. Specs are 8ohms, amp requirement ulis between 15-100 watts. The old reciever was a 425 watt reciever so thats about 85 watts per speaker. The new reciever is a 525 watt reciever so that's about 105 watts per speaker. So my question is the following how come I still feel like I have to crank this thing for it to be loud. I don't get it. My next door neighbor has one of those sony surround sound packages and that thing sounds amazingly loud. We live in town homes so I can hear everything. I don't feel mine is that loud. So that's it any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
