I am trying to use my rx-1030 as a preamp to the carver to power the Infinities. The volume is low and sounds crappy. I have not persisted as I have heard about killing the emits with low power. Anyway, they sound great using an old adcom pre-amp. Any ideas as to why the Yamaha seems to not play well with the carver and how to address?

Thanks
 
I've used my Yamaha RX-A3030 to drive external amps, and I haven't had any issues. So, make sure you're using the correct preamp outs. It's the PRE OUT FRONT RCA connection. Don't use the ZONE OUT, or the MULTI CH INPUT FRONT connections by mistake. Also, when using an external amp, you might want to run YPAO again, so that it will properly set the levels between all channels. That might help with the low levels too.

Good luck, and Welcome.
