set up question cambridge

I recently purchased a cambridge 840e and 840w. My speakers are sonus faber grand piano home. My question is I need to set the volume control at the -30 level about 2'o clock leval to have any real volume to my speakers (scale -96 to zero). On my previous amp peachtree decco 50w the volume set at 9 o'clock was the same as the cambridge unit 200w. I checked the connections a couple of times and it appears to be correct. It just appears the cambridge unit has a somewhat muted sound or something is not right with the unit. Any reccomendations to trouble shoot this will be appreciated.

This is probably a good thing if you think it sounds good when turned up to the desired listening level as it will give you much greater ability to control the volume at lower levels. Cheap volume pots often have problems with channel matching at lower volumes. The 840e has a fairly sophisticated system for attenuating volume.

Curious, how does the Cambridge pair sound to you in general?
