On average, I am playing at -16dB and running my PC12-Plus a slight 2dB hotter in spl reading. 1 port block at 16Hz setting and the bass integrates very well with other speakers. If volume drops more than -25dB, I find everything becomes softer, "boh kick".

On other hand, if volume crank less than -12dB which is very rare to me, the LFE is very scary & uncomfortable especially a sudden explosion in the movie scene or some scary movies try to test your heart. At this volume, the effect can make you jump out of your seat. Even watching Monster vs Aliens where the alien's spaceship self-destruct scene. As I aint prepared for it, I get a real shock. I think this kind of thing is no good to our heart.



SO, I still think at -16dB is just nice for me.
