monitoring quiet... HOW quiet?

i'm working on getting my threshold of sensitivity lower, but there seems to be a floor for making critical decisions.

right now, i can't do any critical adjustments if the mix is quieter than 70db, especially eq. i expect i could push that lower with practice, but i'm curious how quiet ye of the quiet ilk like to listen?

i'm still a sucker for 80-85db, though i recognize the benefits of getting the mix to sing at lower volumes. i find that as i get further and further along into the mix i can continue to drop the volume and fine tune, but in the beginning i need things to HIT me.

and you?
