With the Jubes it is extremely easy to get way too happy with the mains fader. When I had the MWMs hooked up, the bass was so effortless that it was too easy to turn up the volume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 …on a quiet night, La Scalas around 60db are wonderfully engaging. After the day had today KP-301s cranked to 11 sounded about right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fido Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 I find this very interesting. Many Klipsch owners like it VERY LOUD!!!! - High 60sDB to low 70S DB is plenty loud for me with my Forte 4s. Nice to know that most on this forum prefer a regular dose of LOUD!!!!

Jim Gregory Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 For me, depends on the track of music but in general 70-75db. Rock music 85-90db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fido Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 My wife and her family can't handle loud music, loud laughing, loud talking etc. My family is loud so I can very quickly get under her family's skins!. I have learned to enjoy lower listening levels after 25 years of marriage. The Fortes are very dynamic even at 70 DBs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 One important question: are we measuring at listening position, or 1 metre/yard in front of one speaker? Since this is a subjective question, should I just assume that the level at our ears is being discussed, without precise regard to the sound level at the speakers, since everyone’s room is a different size and shape, with a different degree of liveness?

The Fortes are very dynamic even at 70 DBs I get really annoyed/frustrated when I’m around people who loudly talk over each other, so that only the loudest one gets to finish any story or even any sentence. But I guess that’s a separate discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fido Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 In my space the living room is fully pressurized by the time the db meter shows 75 dbs. It completely fills my entire downstairs with beautiful non distorted music. At 80 db and above it’s still crystal clear but is more like being at a rock concert that is too loud to listen to for too long. I’m not ashamed to admit that I don’t enjoy listening to most music at more than moderate levels. 60 to 75 db is perfect the majority of the time.
