I think vivek answered it to the point quite well..jst to put it in the question and answer perspective

I agree with vivek, the gain is hardly perceptible unless u r an audiophile or playing music to find the difference
Decent set of cables will do.

When the loudness was on, and I increased the volume the sound distorted at even less than one-third the full volume;\N

Having seen normal audio amplifiers, the loudness option boosts the volume( all frequencies) to an extent+ some gain in Mid and High frequencies. Basically an equaliser setting+increased SPL ( SOUND Pressure Level)

My system has built-in High and Low pass filters. The low pass filter has two options 65 Hz and 150 Hz, what does it mean. How can I use to better the sound?
In the end, thanx to Navin/Sam/Aseem, I learnt a lot from you guys.

As vivek quoted if u set it at low levels say 40-65 Hz the system plays low frequencies (bass) better..u need to have a Sub to feel it. Always dont drive the systems to the limit as distortions creep in from the speakers. U cannot have the same Bass/ treble settings for all types of music to sound optimum as it depends upon at what level the source has been recorded and how u want them to sound.
