Resurrecting this old post, just upgraded speakers and since I have a tendency to crank up the volume I wanted to make sure that I don't damage my hearing.
I downloaded the NIOHS Sound Level Meter app and monitor the LAeq. I was surprised to find that the level I settled in at was about 78 dB. I am sure that I will hit moods where that elevates to 85 - 90 for short term. I would say 70 is about the bottom of where I would listen on that system, if it is just background music I will probably be elsewhere in the house listening on something else.
