To the OP, go to Amazon and purchase Bosch GLM20 laser measure, good to a 1/16 inch. Less than $40.
As a young audiophile I had a Radio Shack 140w/channel receiver and the large Advents, pretty good for a 16 yr old. My dad doesn't know a thing about it and thought it was a passing "phase". The loudest it could be played safely was at about 5. I was sound asleep and my dad had shut off the breaker to my room, snuck into my room and set it at 10 and hit the power button, went back down and turned the breaker on.
I almost had a heart attack, dove for the volume and hit it to 0. I was so
pissed off I didn't talk to him for several days. Amazingly nothing was damaged.
Its 50 years later and I still tell anyone and everyone not to go freakin' near my gear. I never leave workman alone in my music room. Period.
