RE: Just measured my quad 57's in my 10x 12 man cave

Not sure what to make of it. Why are you getting 87db at 1000 Hz when your reference is 80 db at 1000 Hz?
I suggest getting REW5 (free!) and ideally buying a calibrated USB microphone (about $50-75) to get a better idea of what's going on with your speakers and your room. I use an old analog RS sound level meter to "calibrate" the SPL readings on the REW5 using the built in pink noise generator as the source. I find the iphone app "SLA lite" or Keuwlsoft "SPL Meter" on Android work just as well.
