I can adjust level on only the center, surrounds and sub.Well, you did say you have the mains set "to max", why not just turn them down?
Beat me to it.Some quick googling shows the allegros may be upwards of 89-90 db sensitivity rating. That extra sensitivity plus the large, boomy nature of those beasts may just be overpowering the much smaller center channel. It's normally advised to have the three front speakers to be as close to identical as possible.

I was looking at potentiometers, but wouldn't those make the amp do more work as well?
Wish my Allegro's had the 16 ohm woofers, I could wire other speakers in parallel with them and take some oomph away.
I'm pretty sure I have them set to small and at 10 feet in distance. I'll check size tomorrow.Ya, I reread your post, I was mistaken. I'm still surprised an AVR wouldn't have a means to adjust the mains. Does the menu allow setting the mains for "small", "full range" etc? If so try adjusting these settings.
If the AVR has line out for the mains try connecting a separate amplifier with gain control.
I thought the Niles unit was only to protect from going under 4 ohms.Not really, it would be the same as volume controls for in wall speakers etc. For that matter Niles makes a speaker selector with adjustable gain that should work perfectly.
If you find a level adjustment for the mains let me know, but I don't think there is.This AVR was originally part of a HTiB including it's own set of speakers. No settings for speaker size. I kinda read the manual online. Lol.
I am able to set size and distance with this one.This AVR was originally part of a HTiB including it's own set of speakers. No settings for speaker size. I kinda read the manual online. Lol.
