Volume problem

Hi,

I show films in our village hall using my Toshiba Satellite laptop and a Kenwood KRF 5030 D receiver rated at 80 watts per channnel. Speakers are Eltax 180 large floor standers which I use on stands. They are rated at 4-8ohms. Recently addaed an Eltax centre speaker to improve dialogue, also rated at 4-8ohms.

The hall is not large and the person at greatest distance from the speakers is about 20 feet. In order to get sufficient volume I have to put the laptop sound on max and turn the receiver up to almost full volume. Has adding a centre speaker had the effect of reducing the signal to each speaker or is the problem that the receiver/amp is just not powerful enough?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Barry

I have a similar problem when I plug my laptop into my hi-fi system. I don't have this problem with any of my other sources. My laptop just doesn't give a high enough voltage output.

You could try adding an audio interface or external DAC to see if this gives you sufficient gain / volume.
