By running speaker calibration volume drops down t


While playing music on regular basis, from my system I cannot raise the volume more than 30% of the total volume level. It’s pretty loud.
Said that, all new processor and receivers come with speaker calibration system built-in and mice. If run this room calibration, my volume reduces so far that I have raise the volume at least 70% of the total volume level to achieve the same level of sound.
In addition this calibration, if I use the volume equalizer feature from the JRiver, even at 100% of the volume, the music is not loud enough.
What is wrong I am doing? Any advice?

Make sure you have your processor set to stereo for music. If you have it set to multi channel, you wont get all the music. Some of it will be sent to your center, surrounds, and sub.
