What decibel level do you listen at?

Here is some info on the frequency correction for out of the meters normal range.[www.avsforum]

This is for the Radio Shack meter only. I think a few folks, at least the OP and myself, may be using the iPhone app by Studio Six Digital. Not sure what corrections, if any to use there.

I have both of ths Jax2, and they are almost dead on, compared one to the other.

Macdadtexas, Excellent thread.
I listen mostly in the 65-75 db range.

Of course Studio Six claims theirs is more accurate than the Radio Shack meter. No idea whether that is true. I have their full Audio Tools set and find I use the RTA most frequently.

Another point of interest, and contrast perhaps to what is being pointed out - I've found that with more refined and detailed speakers I do not have the inclination to turn them up louder to enjoy them. In general, the speakers I enjoy at lower volumes tend to be those that render more detail and that I'd consider more refined (I don't know if this a 'rule' or just coincidence). I'd agree, that with these speakers one is able to increase the volume to greater levels with less distortion, but it still makes me want to get away from the sound pressure, distortion or not. Good points about the answer to the question being dependent upon program material too.

Jax2 - how do you use the RTA from Studio Six? I have the lite version and it is pretty useless but I think their Iphone/IPad apps might be good for room set up, etc. I just don't know how to use them. Feel free to provide detail if you have the time.
