Hi Just wondering how many peopla listen at reference volume and If they do how often,
can your kit give refrence sound with quality.

do you think your kit will handle reference, like the mono+ i know the specs say -3 it can hit 17hz but what does is sound like,depends on the source. watching a dvd now and its at -10db and its giving the room a proper workout

Just watched the avengers at -5 and it sounded great but actually didnt sound to loud for one, I dont go to refrence on fright of killing my sub, im not sure how low the lfe channel can go.
my room is 18ftx13ft.
I dont know if it could to be honest, to do reference volume 100% you need a sub that can handle downto 10hz and 115db peaks so major power needed.I'm guessing my brother's Paradigm Servo 15 can do 'reference' levels in his living room, but I doubt the rest of his system (Monitor Audio Bronze speakers and Onkyo TX-NR906) could do it, btw.

even on databass there is no subs that can do that,
Data-Bass
my 15" ae driver in my 95l box can only hit 93db at 10hz.
suppose you could have a hpf set for say 20hz, even then 20hz at 115db still not many can do that.
but the lfe can peak at 115db so shorley it must have to be able to take 20hz at 115db is that right.Reference specs only require a sub to go down to 20hz, and deliver 105db at the listening position. If you can exceed that, then your exceeding the official reference figure requirements. The reference standards are really a minimum standard to enjoy high quality playback, they arent any sort of set in stone parameter to fix yourself too.
What size is the submersive.most i listen to a blu ray film via oppo 93 is about -15, thats on a quieter master, most of the time i get away with ~-20 - and i would certainly like to think my submersive could handle reference with aplomb
What size is the submersive.
my 15" diy sub can hit 104.7db at 20hz so just off being classed as refrence sub i guess.
looks nice, not sure what that bad boy can do, my 15" ae driver can take 750w rms in my 20" cube and is powerd of a behrigner nu3000 which is rated a2200 wrms at 4ohms, but im thinking of building another 95l cab and sticking my other ae 15" driver or building a 150l cab for both ae drivers and giving them a 1000wrms each.hiya, its dual 15" 1000w
but the lfe can peak at 115db so shorley it must have to be able to take 20hz at 115db is that right.
also dan how low can the lfe channel go to in movies
this lark is confusing
'Need' and 'want' are two entirely separate thingsI doubt most people need 115db at 10hz.

I was just under the impression that 'Reference' was cranking the dial up to zero so thanks for the clarification that it's just 105dB @ 20hz

When you calibrate your system and set the volume to 00, then the full dynamic range is available
When you run the amp's auto set-up should you always set the master volume to "00" then? I kinda assumed the set-up would ignore the amps volume setting and and run the set-up test at the correct volume regardless......or am I miss reading what you have put.
