What's your volume level

[Hifi_swlon]

Before I started using Dirac, -45 was reasonable evening listening levels, and -35 was loud. In fact I reduced the startup volume.
With Dirac I'm about -40 -30 region but still experimenting with the Dirac attenuation.

But I sit fairly close and have sensitive speakers and by all accounts sensitive hearing.

I believe my listening numbers are low compared to other forum members…

Dont know either of those speakers, but did you set it up from scratch with a new config? The output power can be reduced in the Configurator, although most people dont seem to bother, its worth checking.
