I find mid 80s LOUD! :)

I have 1.7's powered by a Hegel 190 amp, plus 2 active sealed subs. A DEQX DSP/DAC room correction, eq, and crossover unit means the amp and Maggies don't have to deal with the lower bass frequencies, and I can play as loud as I need to ;-) Because I have bypassed the attenuator and fuse in the Maggies there is the ever-present possibilty of blowing tweeters, but I'm hoping that the amp is less likely to clip with the DEQX crossover diverting the (power-needy) bass to the active subs. Fingers crossed ;-)
I have my own definition of slam: slam is when a pianist is really reaching the limits of their instrument, and sometimes you can hear the playing is almost turning into the whole damn box being slammed into the ground, ala that Dafos space on the inestimable Mickey Hart album.
Curious: where do you feel the need to crossover? I have my single ML Depth set to the 45hz crossover and run the LRS's full range. I do not get thesame Dafos/Richter slam w/o the sub. The LRS's have plenty of punch [for my volume levels] on their own down to ~50hz.
I am lucky. I don't mind that a sub has to do that work. If it bothered me, um, I haven't calculated that into my retirement plans.

Yup.I am wondering if all of us should have a otological ID tag we can opt to use that indicates what decade our ears are in, like
(3 - go ahead and hate me)
(5 - it must be the amp)
(6 -- holy fuck what happened to 5khz of my hearing!)
(10 - the brain rewires things, you would be surprised)

Oh sure, come on now, yes I do rock out! If it's worth playing it's worth playing loud, as Mickey's t-shirt sez.I would add, "sometimes."
My listening life is cruising along mostly <80db. Life is good, and I can hear the tones and qualities with wonderful vividness on the little LRS's. Room is only slightly bigger than OP, with no opening to other area however.
That added area might be the problem. Others are saying amps: I'm gonna say, nope, you can't energize that other area, and it sounds like it should be counted as part of the room.
