Deep

When I used the 1050, I routinely used a volume setting of around 50 to 60 or a little higher. That's relatively typical.

The binding posts sound a little odd. I don't recall hearing about this from other users (and I was at one point biwiring several speakers,with a lot of wire tucking into the 1050's binding posts). You might want to contact Outlaw about it; if there is a problem with your unit they might be able to ship out a replacement and keep you from having to be receiver-less for a week or two.
