I like to take the meter to dealers when shopping. Like when i checked out the Maggie 3.6 i now own. i made certain the speakers SPL was what I listen to at home by placing the meter right at my ear level. So then I get a little better idea of the sound as compared to home. My dealer sort of liked the sound level he was hearing during my audition, and asked me what it was.
I find dealers nearly always crank the sound level way too high for my taste. I like 70dB to 80dB.. They seem to start out at least at 90/93dB
Right now my earphones (it's 5AM) are at 72dB 1 inch from earphone speaker surface.
Also, when the cops come because your neighbors are complaining.. you can point out the sound pressure level is well withing legal limits.. etc.
