[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1171248, member: 517"] Not sure how useful that would be, average volume is quite variable from album to album and music is a lot louder in general than the dialogue centred standards for film and TV. An album playing at 60dB as displayed by my processor can easily be as loud at a film's soundtrack at 70dB Maybe a good concert or other music Blu-ray would be a better way to go about it, if you want to use a HT setup as a benchmark. Yea, exactly. Probably the best at the end of the day is to take a few measurements over time to get a sense of relative volumes. For a more real world reading you should set your meter to C weighting, if hearing safety is the central concern, A weighting. [/QUOTE]
