Well I have in fact FINALLY played WOTW at reference level, and I have to say I had no problems whatsoever. Very impressive show!:boxer::hsd:
What SPL levels were you able to reach on WOTW? I have dual PB13 Ultras and am able to achieve 118/119 dB MAX. I am thinking I need another Ultra or two (just to make it even :yes:) to achieve the 121/122 dBs that others state you should be reaching when your satellites are set to small. I have a ~6400 cubic ft basement (not sealed), so I have a much larger space to fill then you.

Who are these others? 75db with 115db peaks is reference level if your system is calibrated properly. 122db is reachable if you have more than one PB13U in an average sized room.
There are several folks in many of the forums that state that the 115 peaks is only true when all other speakers are set to 'large' (or full range). Otherwise, the bass that is re-directed from them can be added to the 'peak 115' number. Some say 115 + 6 = 121dB. In an average-sized room, yes I have read that dual Ultras can hit in the low 120s. In a small room, I have read that one can hit 120ish.

I have often wondered what it would be like to have my Ultras in a small, sealed, perhaps dedicated HT room. It would probably be cool for a little while, but at the end of the day, I love having a large open basement that the whole family can enjoy even if we aren't watching a movie. Even if we are watching a movie, we can be working out on the weight equipment, at the computer desk, playing in the play area for the kids, etc. (or all of the above). A dedicated HT is my ultimate goal, but right now we are really enjoying the open space.

I absolutely understand, and that is what my plans would be if I were married or attached. I am not...so this is what I have and I do not get sick of it whatsoever!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I just saw your signature. Dual PB13 Ultras and dual PC13 Ultras! In a 110 sq ft room! Wow... That must totally shake your entire house. Literally.

The other day my boys were watching Finding Nemo, at around -30 from reference. I was up stairs and heard what sounded like thunder. The whole house was shaking. I asked my wife if it was thunder. She just looked at me and said something to the effect that what I had just heard was extremely mild. When I went down stairs, the system didn't sound very loud at all. Upstairs though everything was just shaking.

No wonder she hates it when I turn it up really loud.
