Volume seems too low

I have an integrated amp and have to turn the volume up over 2/3 to get it even close to loud. I have the high/low gain switch set to high. Is this normal or, more likely, what have I hooked up wrong?

So I would say be happy don't worry. And go back to enjoying the music. (Only if this was a new sudden change from same equipment behavior previously then I would worry)

Required Amplifier Power is 30-100W. Your amp is only putting out 50w in Pentode mode. How big is your room and how loud do you play?
