How loud are you typically listening?


Typically 75 to 80dB.  Really loud is 90dB and I'm never over, and I mean never, 95dB.  I'm using a professional SPL meter, C weighted, slow response.  Just curious.

Casual listening - mid 70's

When the family is out - mid 80's

When I want to scare the neighbors - upper 90's
Some systems don't come alive till they are turned up. I find that my other system which has a Class D amp begs to be turned down, in fact it sounds good at all levels. I prefer low to mid volume levels in general.
no access to a DB meter but loud enough to where i can clearly hear the background sounds in a classical recording [musicians breathing, clothes and sheet music rustling, chairs creaking, hall rumble, tape hiss]
