Volume considerations

IMHO, each and every room has a different and exact volume level setting.  Things just lock in.

I've setup hundreds of systems and it plays true every time...

I am always in a search to make the music louder without overloading the room. Waiting for GIK acoustics to deliver me a bass trap panel to put in between the TV for music listening session. Hopefully after installation will be able to turn up the volume knob, one or two clicks. Will report on the results. 

I think finding the "best" volume for each recording really matters to my enjoyment. I find that the volume can control the apparent size of the middle of the soundstage, be it vocal or, say, saxophone. If I don't want a 15 ft. vocalist, I need to turn it down a little. When things sound proportionate in size, I think the volume is close to right.

I also think my room (medium-small) can only play so loud - at least musically. After that point is reached, it feels like there is a "compression" of sorts that is created. One of the things about my recent move to horn speakers is that it sounds good - dynamic enough - at lower volumes, than my Magnepans did, for example. 

Yeah RV... to much volume, it to much...plus you don't want the neighbors saying turn that down...
