Hi,
i just purchased and received a D200 2nd hand off audiogon.
i've hooked up a Proac 115 (89db) and KEF LS50 (85db)...it's superb sounding and quiet as night (no hissing) but am having some concerns about the volume level i need to turn up.
the default is -40db which i can hardly hear anything off (very soft), only up to -20db before it becomes clearly audible (but not enjoyable volume).
however, for normal i.e. good, moderately loud sound, i have to turn it on to approx -12 to -6db, sometimes -4db. room is rather small 4m X 5m.
i read the threads here and it vaguely seems some of you guys are playing at -20db as a norm.
just wanna give a shoutout to see what the general "norm" is.
a littly worrying as my speakers aren't exactly low sensitivity but i have to play it at much louder levels.
on a side note, the configurator speaker config has a slider to push from -15 to 15. i left that at 0.
thnx!
