What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal?


I’ve noticed that my avg. dB level is in the upper 70’s to low 80’s.  Which leads me to what level do you listen at and what level do you find ideal?

I listen to large scale classical most of the time. In all cases my volume control is set and I never change it. Highest peak is 74db. 
Speakers are 7’ apart. I sit 8.5’ from them. At that level soundstage locks in and detail retrieval is excellent  

When listening to pop, jazz etc  and some soundtracks I need to lower the volume about 3-4db because of the hotter recording level.
