Yes, I was in several rooms where Serinus asked for the volume to be turned up. As I have stated, Serinus was often correct that the sound was at a too low volume. The small Magico room was continually playing music too loud (over 105 db via my Radio Shack meter). RGA is certainly correct that it's extremely hard to compare systems at different volume levels. The MBL, smaller Magico, and Legacy rooms were all playing at way too high levels for me. Many rooms were playing at too low volume levels. Hard to compare. I liked the levels in the Electrocompaniet, Focal, Vivid, Sonist, Acoustic Zen, and Audio/Vision's Kef 50 room. I was very surprised at the effortless way the low power Unison Research amp (reviewed by Sam Tellig in the August Stereophile) drove the Kef 50 speaker. Plus the sound was palpable and tonally ravishing! This is a new speaker to hear for sure, especially in small rooms.
