Old speakers in all tests, in the same room, just switching amps. I've tested it with both AR-2ax and Pioneer HPM-1100s. The 1100s are our regular home theater front speakers, the AR's are sadly stashed away right now, but they're great for acoustical music.
Unfortunately, the Yamaha doesn't have any kind of output meter, just the volume dial. I normally get by with it being at about -30db, but sometimes as high as -5db depending on the source material. It very well could just be the equalization on the amp, though I often just use direct stereo on my systems.
Dunno, but it just seems kinda flat, like there's no real depth to it...not like with the older amps.
