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

I too had Advents in 1975 & then a stacked pair. They were way better than their very reasonable price would suggest. They of course had excellent bass & pretty decent mids & highs if not the most open, extended & detailed in comparison to today’s good speakers. I had Lots of fun w/ them. 

I don't have a dB meter but I like to turn volume up so I can't hear my wife's complaints about it being too loud.

Pass x-250.8, Bricasti M1se with network card, specialty Tekton Encores,( all 175lbs each)  30'x60' 16' ceilings shop, dual SVS SB4000 subs (listening area 1/3 of that, speakers 12' apart 15' away, stream qobus via Audirvana  Rock and roll only, mid 80's to low 90's ( due to speakers efficiency, all done within class A of AMP) Metallica, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. 72 YOA, still with pretty good hearing!  Also Project RS2T with linear power supply.  YOU ARE THERE! closer than you think after a Buffalo Trace or 2.

Depends on music, mood and environment (sleeping spouse, guests, etc.)

To me, every song has its optimal volume setting.  I rarely listen above 90dB.  OSHA protocols state that risk of hearing loss is minimal with avg 85dB over an 8 hour period.  I use hearing protection while vacuum cleaning vinyl and have a decibel meter on my phone.  It's amazing how loud everyday activities can be.  Riding with the top down in my car is 105 dB! No radio.

On another note @mulveling - are you running the KT-88's in your amps and how much heat do they create.  I have the Sig 200's and they are warm here in Florida.  I will have to look closer at upgrading the amps as I have the Master Phono pre
