To some who posted about wrong hook ups. There is no problem there.

This is quite standard spec for amps. My Ref210 is 1.7 V and 27db. I get good sound at around 22 - 32 volume and my speakers are biamped and 95 DB sensitivity. My source (Ayon Skylla) is set at medium gain which is 6 V output. So despite high gain all around, I am not uncomfortable pushing the volume on my Ref 5 SE.
You must be sitting very close to the speakers or have an extremely quiet room. Or else, look elsewhere to identify the problem. I would work on it because I am certain that you will not be getting the best out of the Ref 5SE at volumes levels below 10.
