I would let then break in for a couple of hours. You shouldn't need to go much over half volume with the KRC's. I would turn AVC off also.
Thanks!

Received the same package today.

On page 3 (in the less than helpful users manual) Focal recommends: " We recommend that once the system is ready for listening the drive units should be run-in with medium volume setting, with music that has full bandwidth of frequencies (sub-bass through to treble). This running-in period should be used for a few weeks, to gain the full potential. After which the excellent performance of you K2 Power products can be fully appreciated." Wow...

On the Focal 165KRC's, there is no documentation on tweeter settings. The settings are printed on the circuit board. The -6 is impossible to see with the cover on because it's hidden under wires. So here are some pics of the settings.
Pic 1: 0dB
Pic 2: -3dB
Pic 3: -6dB
