Mine actually goes to +14. On the 7.1 input anyway. I'm having trouble getting audio out of an HD/DVD on an HTPC, so I cranked it all the way last night, just to make sure there was no audio. Funny, Bluray discs work fine (its a combo drive).
The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Exactly.
Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
I don't know.
Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Put it up to eleven.
Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
These go to eleven.

This is slightly off topic but I am hoping that the new 990 Pre/Pro has a max and minimum threshold you can enter so you can't accidently get to +8. My Harmony remote tends to have a mind of its own at times and will just shoot up to +8.

I couldn't agree with titleist more. I was having remote control problems when I had my choral group over to listen to our recording. All my equipment is in a closet, so it's not visible unless the door is open. I had people everywhere in the room, including right next to the speakers.
The CD had a long silent gap at the beginning. Thinking the remote was funky, I increased the volume without observing the display. It was at full blast when the music started. Carmina Burana begins at fortissimo with timpani, orchestra and choir giving it there all. At 200W per channel, it was incredibly loud.
I had a lot of people pissed off and it ruined the night. I am very fortunate that nothing blew up.
An overall limit is a necessity. Does it make sense to use the channel calibrate function on the 990 to resolve this? I would really like to see an overall adjustment added to 990 firmware.
It would also be very useful to have a gain adjustment for each input. Again, this would make for a rather simple modification for the 990 firmware.

You can buy limiters very cheaply from companies like Alesis at the Guitar Center. Set the maximum output you want, and the volume won't go above that.

the 990 also have built in a volume set level, so when you turn it on.. it's volume is set to a specficied volume. it works great.
