Hi - I'm a new 990 owner, and I'm eager to try the auto-calibration of the audio channels, but I was a bit intimidated by the User's Guide's warning about the high volume levels used. It even suggests using a tripod for the mic so that I can run from the room before my ears start to bleed?? Okay, that's not really the exact wording - it's probably more a recommendation for general comfort than pain avoidance, but still, I recall the old rule of thumb that if it's too loud for your ears, then it's probably not doing your speakers any good, either.

Are the levels loud enough to put my speakers at risk? I have B&W 600 series mains and center, and Def. Tech. sub and surrounds. I don't recall the exact model numbers off-hand, but I know they're rated to handle the 100 W my amps are rated to provide with minimal distortion.
