On my system, anything other than minimum gain and muted across the board is too loud. There has to be a clear distinction between pro/semi-pro vs. consumer hardware. If a desktop computer doesn't give sound by default it's inconvenient. If a recording engineer blows up a 20000 euro pair of speakers because he expected things to start muted, it's more than inconvenient.
