Ok guys i have a bout 10 year old HK avr 65 its rated at 75 watts per channel 5.1 i believe. I have Ascend acoustics L/R/C Sub isnt here yet. Just calibrated my system and im at only 20 sometimes 19 if im not still on master volume. On test tones im right at 75 maybe a tad lower 74 very very close though. Listening to a jack johnson cd right now at reference level with 93 db peaks mostly 86 87 or so. So master volume is at 19. My question is when the music pauses i have a airy scratchy sound coming through the speakers like a wind noise or something. Is this because my reciever is having to work too hard to push the speakers? I plan on getting a onkyo 805 in the next week or so. But i dont wanna push it hard enough its clipping or whatever and hurting my speakers. Is this normal? I havent heard this sound before just kinda sounds like wind or well hard to explain im sure some of you have heard it before. Anyways thats basically my question is about the airy or wind sound. The explanation was to make sure i did everything correct. Thanks for any help. Sorry about my grammar or punctuation i just got home from work and it hurts my arms just to type lol thanks again.
