I think everyone on this thread should have a SPL meter!!!! That way we would have "calibrated" readings instead of the numbers on the receivers/ pre processors which are almost worthless.
A +11 on my receiver would be very, very loud (if it actually goes that far?)! I probably couldn't listen to it for very long. But, that is on my system.

Agreed on the meter.
The volume is all over the chart depending on the source. Stereo in the -20s, dvds -15 to -20, tv -10 to -15. All to produce the same spl reading.

My receiver has a built-in function to try to keep the incoming signals at a similar level, but I'm hesitant to use it for fear of attenuating something important! But yeah, I'll bet that most of us have that particular problem of varying inputs!
