@bernardl ,
Why have the default level at -40 dB or -46 dB? That's extremely low. I've got a 130 so if I followed your reasoning I'd set my default to -37 dB since a 250 has roughly twice the output of the 130, In practice, however, with my speakers in my room, most of my listening is done at around -20 dB, give or take a few dB so I have my default set to -20 dB. I really dislike the -40 dB default because it means I have to raise the volume around 20 dB or so every time I turn the amp on and that's annoying.
Take a look at what level you do most of your listening at and set the default somewhere closer to that unless you're listening too much during a coronavirus lockdown, you're getting a lot less exercise as a result, and expending a bit of energy raising the volume setting every time you turn the amp on makes a difference to your weight :-)
That's my view and I'm sticking to it. I view default settings as convenience settings intended to marke life easier.
