Re-calibrating speaker levels for DTS?

Hi fellow Home Theater freaks!

I wanted to know if anybody out there thinks it's important to re-calibrate speaker levels for DTS when you have already calibrated the levels for DD/Prologic.

I ask this because I know that DTS uses higher output levels for both the surround channels and LFE.

I have the Rotel RSP980/RDA980 combo and would like to add the RDA985/986 DTS decoder. I have calibrated my speaker levels with a sound pressure meter and think this is invaluable for a good balance and a convincing sound'bubble'. The fact is that with the configuration above, it is not possible to calibrate levels for DD, Dolby Prologic and DTS independently.

Please tell me any opinions on differences between DTS and Dolby Digital levels.

Many thanks in advance!
