Mentioning just in case, don't forget to disable Replaygain, it was too
silent for me too even with the preamp (RG at default 89dB).

Does seem odd doesn't it. I've just been looking at the Bryston 4B ST
specs and the balanced output is 6db higher than the unbalanced...
however the input sensitivity varies between the two types too... if I
guess right (which I probably haven't) this negates the gain. The
figures can be seen in t

According to the PDF for the 4B ST there are level setting screws on the
front panel "PROFESSIONAL MODELS ONLY".

The input sensitivity on the Krell amp is 2.33Vrms (and gain of 25db),
so it does appear that the 2 Vrms isn't quite enough...

I've been running my Transporter directly into a Bryston 4B ST

couple of days.

Honestly, this volume is more than acceptable. I think I more want to
make sure I understand what's happening. The explanations about the pre
you guys gave make sense.
And, yes, now that I know I don't need the attenation I'll be switching
it to XLR. :)

Since you don't need attenuation you could try a set of XLR cables.

2 Vrms is all she does. If you want more you need a preamp, or you might
pop the cover on your amp and see if its gain can be adjusted.

I think the input sensitivity on the Krell amp wants a higher voltage to
get to max output (in other words, it probably wants the gain offered by
using a preamp)...

Setup is direct to amp. Transporter->Krell Kav 2250->Martin Logan
Summits.
I tried the attenuation, and have settled on NO attenuation. It still
doesn't seem loud enough to me. It gets louder than I'm likely to play
it 99% of the time. However, the yamaha receiver could play these
speakers louder
