Volume at 50% is nothing. Most gears sound good between 11 and 2 pm position. Make sure you have good ventilation for the heat. I am not worried about it. If you hear distorted sound at this level, then you should consider more powerful receivers or amps.
looking for solution...maybe simple question???
I had a nice set up...and as we all do, thought it could be better.
I now own a set of Mirage M3 towers match to a Mirage s12 sub.
My problem as you might imagine is that the M3s are SO power hungry that I have to push my Sony MC-Receiver past 50% or better to achieve my desired home-theater listening level.
I have been looking at the sony1000 / onkyo models and integra.
I encountered a guy to day that offered me an Integra 7.8 B-stock unit (65W) model.
Would this solve all my problems with power to these M3s??? not having to worry about bi-wiring / heat / etc?
