I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?

Up enough that one can't stay in the space without muffs ...🤦‍♂️👍

Sounds better at levels that make for sense and sanity. ;)

Everything all at once is doable here.

Enough that I get concerned about how warm wires are being wrought.
Anything that amplifies has thermal shut-downs, so good there.

No neighbors at night to annoy.

Sweet.

I just bought a meter.  I tried 2 different meters and a couple of apps.  The meters were more consistent.  50-70 dBA depending on the music.  Some peaks into the low 70s.  That’s from my listening chair.  I sit about 3 meters away from my speakers.  

...enjoy the music and the search.jays audio review of the magico q7 don't wake up until 80 pluss db 

Yet Robert Harley says these driven with the Lamm 18 watt set's "was nothing short of magical in its reproduction of timbre, space, low-level detail, and other qualities that greatly contributed to the overall sense of realism"

I can guarantee I will never be in the market for 750 lb speakers. And if I want to feel my house shake when I listen to music I will just buy a house near the train tracks. 

120dB was said to be the sound pressure level of the loudest concert ever in 1976 (The Who, at Charlton Athletic Grounds, using 76,000 watts), a record that stood for ten years. You can ask Peter Townsend whether he regrets that...
