That’s what JBLs are for, you get an extra Bel for your Watt over those ATCs.
9 ‘o’ clock for me as well all sources. Then again i guess it will depend on the music and how you like to listen and also how old one is😂

It’s interesting to hear peoples views on loud - on my system listening to the NDX at 7.00 there is no sound and 9.0 normal listening , so 12.00 although loud isn’t distorting , I can only conclude that not all 250’s are calibrated to the same levels ?

I doubt that there is a significant variation in gain between 250s. Listening at 12:00 must be because you like to listen to loud heavy metal or rock music. I doubt anyone likes to listen to piano at that volume
Obviously, when comparing volume levels, hearing loss is a variable that might account for turning up the volume knob…
It also depends on the recording level, some of the older ones preceded the loudness wars.

Yes and most of that stuff is unlistenable compared to say an ecm new series recording
If it was serviced by Naim it would be exactly calibrated.

Well, I would say within spec. which should be good enough
Mushy just needs to buy a pair of 135s, which have cooling fans, then all will be well.
They are also capable of making a lot more noise than the 250, so that’s an added bonus - unless they blow up the loudspeakers!

I thought the OP meant he came back from the pub and put loud music on at midnight!
