Hi there,
I have the following setup:
Speakers: 7.1 system with KEF THX ultra and two 34DS (dipole) at the back
Integrated amplifier: Pioneer VSA-AX10.
I have been told different stories regarding playing at reference level:
from a SPL meter: the wide pink noise should be 85dB from the listening position.
however, I also heard that the above is only applicable if you are using a non-THX controller. If using a THX controller, then the right figure is 75dB. The reason for the decrease of 10dB is apparently to compensate for the several THX refinemet to the sound (Re-equalisation etc...)
