The value itself is correct, as the attenuation you need is not very much (and so little that I wouldn't bother with it) *if* you want to be able to get full volume out of your system. That is a big if. If you find that you normally listen at much lower volumes, you might want to go with more attenuation. The amps of my active speakers are teorethically capable of 1200W of output power, but they are gain limited to only produce 200W or so at full volume. I don't need louder than that, and it would probably blow my speakers if I went full power. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
