I bought a Burson Soloist SL over 5 years ago now.

I don't use it very much, but I must admit that it has never really sounded that loud.

I have to almost turn it up to the max on the volume pot before it makes me HD650 headphones approaching something like loud.

However, I have never had anything to benchmark it against, so I thought that maybe it was just a bit underpowered.

I sold it on ebay at the weekend and sent it down to the buyer.

The buyer seems to know his headphones and amps and he thinks that it doesn't go loud enough and there is something wrong with it. I have had to accept it as a return.

I am not an electrician, so I don't understand why this is happening.

Why would an amplifier work, but underperform in terms of loudness? Is it worth getting someone to look at it? Can anyone recommend someone in the UK?
Thanks

The amplifier was returned to me yesterday and today I have been listening to it with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro and Sennheiser HD650.

I must admit that I cannot hear anything wrong with.

It can still drive the HD650's to decent sound levels.

Some eBay folk can be a pain in the backside and I knew that it if the buyer had raised a case against me they would have found in his favour.
