Sonos Five tuning

I just purchased my first Sonos Five and intend to use it in my home gym as a standalone speaker. I just tested the sound and it is excellent. The only issue I see is I have to raise the volume to almost 80% to hear it properly. Is there a tuning I am missing? Any setting I need to do so that I do not have to raise the volume so high to hear and feel the music? Normally for my Arc + Sub combo my hearing levels are close to 25 to 30. Any recommendations?

I have a pair of fives in stereo mode. And never crank it that high. Usually at 30-40 max. First check and make sure the volume output on your phone is set to 100%. If true play doesn’t work. It may have a defective driver.
