Granted there may be times where you can't get to reference from "0" but it hasn't happend to me yet in all the systems I've done. My Rotel processor uses a positive number scale so I do what you suggest in setting one channel equal to reference and ballence the others around it at that volume scale. For my system I just pick the 85 dB that Avia's SPL is set to and it seems to be close enough that I have no problems adjusting each channel to that level.
