 Re: "Crank it up" - Cheap AVR's vs Headroom
Thanks for your sound check advice.
The peak SPL reading stated was for CD's. Request to turn up the volume pertained to CD playback.
Did a follow up SPL sound check on DVD demo used for friends - chapter 3 of: Superman Returns - crystal ship crash landing - measured 105dB peak (volume on AVR set at 50, same setting as used for listening to CD's). DVD passage shakes everything in the house except your teeth.
Replayed the same DVD passage using your sound check advice and started to hear sound break up at 110dB (AVR set at 60).
So, do I have more headroom for CD playback? How much more?
