[QUOTE="joetama, post: 3011499, member: 564641"] I would say that getting a bigger more powerful amp would help. With Polk, you really aren't going to need anything like Rotel. (Amp would cost more than your speakers) What type of source unit are you using, ie what game console? And what type of audio inputs are you using? If that amplifier is rated at 6 ohms the 8 ohm load means you aren't getting your full power. Mr. C is right, that the amps in those systems are not designed to be high current. I don't have much experience with the polk equipment, but I believe it should be louder than you say. One thing to try if you are using a digital source, is try some different decoding options. Meaning, Dolby Game Mode/Movie. It might just be set on the incorect format... [/QUOTE]
