One problem I've had: in my Analog phono system, I literally blew out a woofer at fairly high volume not from clipping, too much power or music transience but from amplifying a fairly warped record. the wide subsonic excursions finally did in one woofer... anyone else have this problem? Now I monitor visually the woof's while playing LP's to make sure the warps are not too out of line and if too much then lower the volume. Also have to make sure the vol. is down when lifting the tonearm. A really powerful high current amp can do some damage in these areas.
Speaker power ratings vs. aplifier power ratings?
This is probably a stupid question that has been answere here many times but her it goes anyway......
If a speaker is rated at 120 WPC at 4 ohms such as my Green Mountain Europa's how close to that power rating do I have to stay near when choosing an amplifier?
In other words, does 120WPC mean 120WPC with no room for deviation?
