I took SPL measurements last night during the opening scenes of Fury Road on BR via the PS3. I recorded 105dBC peaks at -10.5 on the Onk. All sounded tremendously controlled and immersive through the 1500/M100/160, 1000/QS10 and 800.

At -5, the highs started getting squirrely. I turned the 160 off and all was fine. At 0, I was recording 110.5dBC peaks but I could tell I was reaching compression limits.

These levels are at an MLP of 12 feet from the M100s, 14 feet from the 160 and 12 feet from the QS8s.
