I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?


I suppose this is an open question to any of you fine people, but I'm exclusively analog myself and particularly curious to hear from those of you who listen to records.

What would you say is your normal listening volume? Perhaps measure it and post the db's?

Thanks!

Peaks of 80-88 dB if my wife is in the shower, or not home.

C weighted.

 Fast response.

Measured at the listening seat, 8' from plane of speakers.

One time, listening briefly at really loud levels (about 94), I got curious.

Got up and measured the SPL a couple of inches from the speakers. It was peaks of 116 dB. A few seconds later the volume got back to comfortable levels.
