I have a pioneer home system for my room that has outputs for rear speakers. I tested them with a pair of old speakers I had in my house and the out put was quiet on the rear speaker channel while the main ones were still loud.
Thinking that it was maybe those old speakers, I went and bought the Bose 161 speakers and hooked them up. Those were queit aswell but playing around with the settings on the stereo its fine but still not as loud. They put out more of the instrument sounds and certain effect than the voices.
Is there a reason why the rear speaker output is quiet on the system? Is it like this for all systems?
