I was thinking about how sometimes my settings aren't right, but it could be that im listening too low?

 

I generally listen to at 30 and movies at 40.

Should i be listening louder?

What volume do you listen?

Any answer will be useless, as there are so many factors involved: source of the signal and factory level, BV model, loudspeakers connected and level settings, distance to the BV and size of the room ...

For example, on my BV11-55 in the bedroom, volume setting at 35 in movie mode through the inbuilt speaker, I have to setup the BV7-55+BL7.6 from the living room at 50 to have the same sound level. Both sources are the same: a HUMAX Satellite decoder connected by HDMI with volume setting at the maximum.

Oli is right ... especially when you include the age of my 👂🏻 👀👂🏻

We typically have voice at 48

And big movies at up to 70

My BV6-26, 3m away, is usually set to 30 (sometimes, I crank it up to 36-38...). And that's enough to watch (and listen to 😕) TV at any time of the day.

NB: the volume of the external DVB decoder is set at max!

I sit 4.5 meters from my BV12-65, and BL18 pair in the lounge.

Generally, TV at volume 50-53, louder for movies (largely to hear vocals more clearly), about 60-65.

Music varies, depends on mood, but closer to 50.

My bedroom Avant is 3.5 meters away from viewing position.

No supplementary fronts like the lounge has.

Therefore not as powerful a setup.

TV at volume 40-44.

Hope that helps.

I like it louder than most, as a general rule.

45 year old ears, for the record.

That’s odd - normally both ears are the same age 😕
