Do NOT play loud. At best, you'll blow the fuses on the ML. HOWEVER, if you hit upon a very fast transient, more damage can occur -- as stated above -- to the ribbons on the Duetta (not easy to fix nowadays)... the fuse might not cut the signal off in time!
The Duettas are not as bad a load as other Apogees (i.e. they're less "bumpy") -- but I still used to send a Krell 80 into shut-down on orchestral pieces and no, the volume was not all the way up-- far from it :)! Happy holidays!
