IceAlive's AM6 per-stage introspection

[IceAlive]

aimed for around -70 db on headphones and -50 db on speakers

Hey good to hear you're having so strong effects! I was just wondering, is that -50 dB measured where you're listening or right in front of the speaker's hf element? Do you know what the other level is (where you're listening or in front of the hf speaker)?

For me its -30 dB right in front of the speaker and around -65 dB on the sofa that's 2-3m away from the speakers. Sounds loud to me.

It's measured where I'm listening. That's, at least, what I interpreted that one needs to do from one of Shannon's posts. Indeed, I do hear it clearly, but it does not bother me, even less so because I play other stuff in parallel (music/movies - other speakers, or even the same speakers sometimes).

Hope this helps.
