Charles, the bottom line is that you can't gain any advantage in remaining power capacity("headroom")by calibrating at a lower number on the volume control. The master volume control and the individual channel trim controls allow more or less voltage from the player, etc. to reach the amplifying section and then be amplified, but the relative settings can't change the maximum power capability which is designed into the amplifier.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I use internal test tones for setting up the Audyssey EQ curves, then pop in the Avia disk and set up my speakers. I like -15 to equa. 85 db. At that level my mains are both at Zero, and my center is – 4. Surrounds are a little to the positive.
…..not really sure why I felt compelled to post that.
