RE: The volume control.

This is an old problem. Where it's loud on the volume control doesn't necessarily mean anything power-wise. If 10 or 11 is as loud as you listen, it's quite possible that 12 is where the amp clips the waveform. Sometimes it doesn't mean that you've only used 30 or 40% of the power available. It depends on how the designer implemented the volume control. I see this example all the time on the Asylum. For me, ideally, the amp should clip at about 5 o'clock on the dial to get the widest possible use out of the control. IMHO.
