Problem with Home Theater Volume


This is driving me absolutely nuts, and is getting worse with time.

In surround sound modes my system has a major lack in overall volume. Set at max, I mean max, the loudest passages in a movie hits 95db at most. The problem is getting worse and worse and I am at a loss.

I have tried different DVD players, different digital cables/inputs, different power conditioners, different ac circuit for the pre amp to be plugged into, different amp ac circuit, different power cords. The late night mode is not on, I have reset all the settings to factory defaults in case I goofed something up.

Any ideas? The amp is 200x7 only using 5 channels and the speakers sensitivity is 90.5db.

Thanks

To go along the same thought line as Sean, if you can, try setting all of your component's settings back to default factory settings and start over with your config. Maybe that would reset something you've modified but forgot.

If Sean's suggestions do not fix the problem, perhaps you should state more specifics i.e. room demensions LxWxH, room acoustics (dead or alive), speakers, etc..

It's odd that you say the sitution is getting worse and worse. Perhaps it's happening every time you try to make a correction.
