Several people have reported that the reference
SPL suggested by
Bob Katz is quite high anyway. This is most certainly the case if
you are in a relatively small listening room with close speakers -
there seems to be a psychological effect that makes it seem unnatural
and unpleasant to have high SPL in small enverinments.
So unless you go for scientific accuracy the cheaper meters will
probably do.

Hi, Fons!
Will you be so kind to point me to publically available explanation of k14/k20
sense/motivation? And is there some probability you will add a k0 type?
:-)
Zero, it doesn't make any sense to do that.
The K-meters indicate two values: an RMS one (the
coloured bar), and digital peak value (the white
dot). These are two independent values: the dot
is *not* the peak value of the bar as it is with
most meters. They will indicate the same value
for a continuous sine wave.
For typical music signals the peak indication will
be higher than the RMS one, and that is why the dB
scale (which applies to the RMS indication) is offset.
The only difference between the k20 and k14 meters is
this offset of the scale, they are the same meter
otherwise.
The k14 is used for music that is compressed, so it
can have a lower peak/RMS ratio, and thus a higher
average RMS level.
