Agreed.
To the original poster, before you send it back, since you've got some time...

With the HK in stereo my volume level is usually set to -35dB (-28dB for moderate listening). With the 990 even at -19dB the thing is nowhere near the level the HK(-28dB) put out.
Second, the subwoofer output (With the tone->bass set to +6) compared to the HK is not even half of the HK bass output.
In my admittedly limited experience, these kinds of things are classic symptoms of setup problems. There's absolutely no reason why the raw sub output should be so much lower, for instance. I'd check for things like proper polarity, try manual setup instead of the auto setup (use a sound meter if you have one), and see if you can't get it to sound a whole lot better.
If that still doesn't do it for you, then by all means send it back. Hope you can recoup the other fees in that case.
(Disclaimer: I don't own a 990, but have a 950.)
