Seems to depend on the source for me.

CD/Changer - Pretty loud
iPod interface - Not so loud
SIrrius - Not so loud
Radio - n/a (I don't listen to the radio much)

I think the quality of the system is very good for a stock system. I don't tend to listen extremely loud anyway. The only complaint I have is the Sirrius sounds like 64K MP3 files, a lot of compression. The iPod interface seems to cap out with headroom left, as if it could go louder.

I think the speakers are only rated at like <20 watts/channel so they aren't going to be extremely loud anyway.

I'm used to custom sound systems also but this is my first experience with a HK system. I think it performs quite well. I don't really see myself upgrading anything in it.
