Dual Pro optimal power output?

[bernardl]

Hi David,

Thanks a lot.

I wasn't accurate in my description, I didn't mean maximum output power, I meant maximum power rating in the configurator.

I am well aware about the dangers of loud listening and have never playing my D250 Pro louder than -20db as far as I can recall.

Your explanation makes sense, thank you. I had not realized that -40db was referring to the 0 db of this particular amp, I somehow thought it was referring to an absolute level of sound for some reference speaker load. But yes, now that you mention it it makes total sense.

A ball park figure is good enough for me, so I'll change the default level of the amp to -46db from the default -40db. I believe that this will be much closer to a good start point for general listening.

I have already the limits set up in Roon btw.

Cheers,
Bernard
