I'm a long time 7125 owner. I purchased my 990 & 7125 in 2006. I ran the little 5.1 maggie setup with them and recall quite easily blowing the fuse in the center on some cheesy horror movie I was watching way too loud.

Fast forward to the present. I've replaced the 990 with a Marantz AV7005. Now everything works except ... I just can't crank it up. With all of the auto-correction / EQ turned off I can turn the pre all the way up and its just above a "normal" listening level. Level is consistent across all the channels. Speakers I'm running now are much more sensitive at 91db.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?
