Hi

For music I have 7200SE using Roon and Tidal as source. Via a 210 for music.

For movies 7200SE 5500HC, 8 x DSP33, SW5500, SW1600 via a 271 Arcam AV40 combo.

Now traditionally I listen to movies at c. 65 which I think is c. Reference.

For music mostly only 40 to 45, but tried at 50 tonight, quite impressive. But noticed my wife wincing at the volume. Tested with DB METER and getting c. 65dB which is sub concert volume by quite a lot. Now from what I have read 85dB is safe for avoiding hearing loss.

Now my ears a bit old (61 years) now so trying to protect. What levels do others listen at?
