118dB. In my 1900 cu.ft. living room, at 10 feet away, on a 1000-8 and a 1000-2
that's up in the loud rock concert territory ...
Note: common opinion is that prolonged exposure to sounds over 85db can cause hearing loss. Where prolonged means >8hour a day. The louder something is the shorter the exposure needed to make it permanent. charts give 110db for 2min before loss can occur. Just an FYI for those who like to continue their listening enjoyment for years to come.
That said ... hitting 120db for a second or two of dynamics is acceptable in my book ... but you wouldn't want to go much higher or longer ...
