the volume is so low it's hard to tell. With the volume cranked all the way it's just over a whisper. I should mention the phono is a little louder but cranked is still very low.
I just bought a used RS-1050 that was supposed to sound beautiful. I unpacked and it sounds terrible. The seller tells me I need speakers with a sensitivity of 95 or more which will cost m ore than the receiver? Please advise me.
