Thanks for responding (this site is #$@*&+ great). A rep from Audio Consultants in Evanston IL emailed me w/ the following,"The 27 has a soft clipping circuit and other protection circuitry, so there is no danger here". I suppose the speakers might be on thinner ice than the amp during a clipping episode. My experience w/ Scintillas and Duettas (tho' brief) seems to parallel Greg's. I've heard things start to choke even w/ some pretty testicular amps at way lower than a live performance volume.
Mark Levinson 27 Clipping
Hi,
Hoping someone out there knows if the ML27 is likely to be damaged if gets overtaxed (clips) because of a difficult speaker load,(like from an Apogee Duetta). Tried the ML serie page, (Steve in France), but couldn't get Yahoo to cooperate. The manual doesn't say anything specific about protective circuitry or fuses. Thanks for any info you can pass on.
