Volume on AVM20

Ive recentley purchased a used AVM20 on the GON. Seems in great shape. sound and features pretty much liveing up to hype, and expectations. However, Im finding that in order to get a volume that Im happy with, with all material, cd,s DVDs TV,ect... I a feel as if Im haveing to turn that dail up to at least 10 before Im getting the volume I want. Im talking reasonably loud but not really. Its not pushing anywhere near what most people would consider tooo loud. But I feel that since there is not far to go between 10 and louder am I starting to push the limits of the AVm20, If so then Im worried about clipping my amp, which will go much louder and handle more than I feel Im giveing it with AVM20. In fact I know it will with differant PRE but same speakers weve been waaay past this level Im describing to you. Is this the typical decible level of the avm20 or would you suggest there could be something else going on?
Speakers: Von Schwikeirt VR4 HSE III
AMP: Bel-Canto evo200.2 and Belles 150A Hotrod tried them both with same results.
Speakerwire: Kimber with some decent enough cables.
I guess I want to know is this normal and can I take the AVM20 up any more in volume without clipping something?
Thanks, Map1
