No help, here. Just another post of reinforcement. "What they said". Completely depends on material and room and preferences.
One way out of the box is to sit in your spot with a meter and measure levels and assign attributes (such as "loud enough"). That only gets you _that_ piece, but maybe that's enough to move you on your path.
A second potential way out is to accept some other person's attributes and to use their information and do your own math. For example, PWK (Nov '80, 3000 ft3 room) assigned 90-100 dB (re 20 uPa) as "loud", 105-110 dB as "very loud", 115-120 dB as "too damn loud", etc.
What's unsaid really calls for prognostication. The Zu's I've heard have done Splendid things within their limits. If you're good with that, contact Zu and they'll steer you straight. For anything other than that, add details so that the heavyweights might weigh-in.
