My home theatre system: Yamaha Receiver RXv800 2 x main speakers (Mission M74) 1 x center (Mission) 2 x rear (M31i Mission) 1 x CD/DVD Pioneer
When I listen to music only using the 2 x main speakers, I find that I need to put the volume higher to be able to hear every little sound. I would like to keep the volume low and still hear all instruments
Would an integrated amp rectify this issue?
Many thank to the person who could help me with this.
What mode or setting are you using on your receiver to listen to music? You should be using stereo, or at least by-pass any DSP setting on your receiver.
That being said, HT receivers are usually not very good for serious music listening, so yes, an integrated would typically be a better bet.
I have checked again for 'direct mode' and no such availability on my RXv800 Yamaha HT. I tried again by-passing DSP and using CH Stereo mode is Ok, but just Ok. I feel I could get a much better sound from the Mission speakers.
I start seriously to buy an integrated amplifier. My concern is that I need to hear this amplifier with Mission speakers and they don't sell everywhere. Might need to go to Montreal.
If any of you have a suggestion, I will certainly take is seriously.
