I use this same logic as well, and assume there's nothing wrong with it.
To give actual numbers, when I'm really listening to music very loud (lets say 90-95 db as measured by my SPL meter), my receiver is usually set to about -16 db. Though I've never confirmed it yet on the Marantz, I assume max volume is when it reads an even -0- db. So the way I see it, if Sierra's would only have me going to -10 db or so, then it has enough juice.
I assume both Sierra's and my (expensive) Marantz can take whatever volume I set it on, including and up to max. I pay a lot for this equipment presumably so I don't have to worry about this sort of thing.
