"Some" would be right of course. 😉
I often listen to peaks a lot louder. You would have to talk very loudly even sitting next to me to be heard. But it never actually sounds that loud which is usually a good omen that distortion is well under control.
System is OHM F5 series 3 speakers (12" Walsh style drivers in refurbed vintage OHM F cabs), Bel Canto ref1000m amps, 500 w/ch into 8 ohm, 1000 into 4 ohm. Room is 20x30 L shaped with speaks in base of L facing toward the long dimension. I normally sit about 10-12 feet back from speakers but they are quite omnidirectional so my listening location can vary.
Sometimes I sit ~4 feet in front and slightly to the left of the left speaker to get a more up close perspective. You can actually do that and retain a coherent soundstage from most any perspective with these speakers which is perhaps their most unique feature.
I do not have spl measurements but will give that a shot with my cell phone over the weekend maybe and report back.
