Would you not agree?

True, but at 5 feet it is no longer 85db (assuming you calibrated for something other that 5 feet). You loose 3 db for every couple feet (my math is not so good tonight - if you are interested I will find the exact number). When you calibrate your system (and when Audyssey calibrates it), 0 on your volume control should = reference at your listening position. Of course if you get closer, it will be louder.
