Appropriate Volume for HT


Boxoffice Buff

Recommended Posts

I don't use a meter and I don't want to harm my hearing.  I like clean conversations and loud enough during actions sequences appropriate to the on scene.  I like action sequences to be at a volume that immerses me into the scene.  My speakers have never been pushed to distortion, but imagine that short bursts at 110dB may be as hard as they're pushed.

It all comes down to what you're comfortable with.

I am with everybody else, down -10 to -15 from THX Reference level which my Onk AVR puts at 82 db.

 

I like to listen to a movie and set the sound so conversation sounds "normal."  I am not one of those who like sitting inside explosions and hearing gun shots that have a loud CRACK in my ears.
