Don & Scott,

I normally run the Z-5500 master volume at Boost-4 to Boost-7 and the sub at about 20 percent. All the satellites are set at maximum volume, and only once have I run the master volume at boost 11 (maximum). Most of the time, the keyboard volume is at 50 percent or less. Essentially, with the 5500 system, plus the additional keyboard speakers on the 3000, you're firing 10 speakers. This includes 5 satellites, 1 subwoofer and 4 onboard speakers in the 3000. That's a lot of speakers putting out a lot of sound.
