It's just semantics and arithmetic. 0 dB on the meter in the K-System is ALWAYS 83 dB at the correct monitor control position. That's part of the design. You were talking about a pink noise signal of -20 dBFS, yes, it would yield 77 dB with a 6 dB monitor attenuation. But I was talking about a pink noise signal at 0 dB on the meter, which would yield 83 dB.
