At the movies, the high points are always a bit loud!
I'll work at 70 for a while.....

If it works for you, far be it from me to tell you how loudly you "must" listen. What speed is your meter, "slow", C weighted? If so, then you are an exceptional mixer. I think I like to hear 83-86 dB on the loudest peaks of very dynamic music with good transients.
