>>OK, so now I'm more confused than ever. Which probably doesn't take much any more. Reading all the posts and thinking about how often I run my music at -15 to -10 or even louder, are my ears gone or is my system not set properly.
Like everyone else says, don't worry about it. I normally listen to music around -20 and movies around -10, but for "loud music" (when circumstances permit) I can end up close to 0dB and occasionally higher. This is on an HK630 in good condition.
