My music listening is usually at an average of 75db - a level that I prefer, but I also watch movies in the same room with 2 x SVS SB2000 subs, and very often I have seen momentary peaks crossing 100db at my listening position. Just observed this 2 days ago when I was watching Midway, and yes if the scene demands it - in this case it was the Pearl Harbor attack - then I enjoy these levels.
Cheers,
