Yes, that is my experience with the Rotel amp, Input impedance/Sensitivity = 33K Ohms/1 volt.

I noticed this when my Onkyo receiver's preamp died on me. Using a Rotel preamp with the standard 1V output connected to the 1V input-sensitive main-in of the Onkyo, I wasn't getting anywhere near the loudness of my former set-up at the same volume setting. My listening volume setting shoot up to 3 o'clock for the same loudness. Seems to me that the internal preamp of the Onkyo had a higher gain than the external Rotel preamp.

send me a pm. you can bring over your rotel at home and try them out with different preamps and speaker combinations.
also, i use my tono for some of my amps..some with very sensitive inputs. on some amps, i can only bring the control to 9oclock max. that does not bother me at all because what i'm after is the sound, and not the setting on my volume control.
