I'm not sure how much "louder" the Match amp is compared to the HK amp. If you double your amp wattage, you usually only increase the sound level by 3db. The HK amp in the the 2 series has a total of 360 watts playing over 7 channels. The Match amp has 645 watts playing over 7 channels. I know the Match amp's main 5 channels are rated at 65 watts RMS; I don't know what wattage the HK amp's main 5 channels are.

That being said, it does seem "louder" to me. The main thing is that it sounds clearer; and the soundstage is a lot better than the HK system. That has a lot to do with the Helix DSP built in to the Match amp. Changing out the front door speakers helped tons too...
