Peak listening levels-


Curious about this- what do you consider LOUD but still enjoyable?

For me, it's somewhere around 100dB peak, give or take a few dB

Years ago when I had Magneplanars I learned the hard way what happens to a ribbon tweeter at too high a level. It breaks.
128x128zavato
100dB at my chair. Listening today with an SPL meter nearby saw reading max out at 102, and more typically high 80's to mid 90's
I listen near field so I'm averaging 60 and peaking at 70 ish. Maybe I'll push it to 75-78 but rarely.
