How loud are you typically listening?

Quieter for me would be 64-69 dB. Louder would be 69-75 dB.

One factor that I've just experienced in the last several years is that a acoustically "quieter" room allows for lower actual listening volumes for the same perceived sound level.

70 on the low end 90 on the high end. Using Iphone to measure db with internal mic so not sure how accurate that is. 

I very seldom will ever peak over 90.  It's bad for your hearing.

Yeah me neither 90 peak dbs in my room is cranked.  I hang mostly in the high 70 and mid 80 range.   

Checked with one, seems 55 are average low normal listening levels and 83 average high.
That represents 30-55 on preamp indicator volume scale (95 max) if it means anything.
