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.

Duane, the Duettas are a MUCH kinder load than the Scintilla... Duetta is a load; Scintilla is a short-circuit :).
Merry Xmas everyone!

Ditto: I also ran a 27 into Thiel CS 3.6's without any problems. The No. 27 has extensive protective circuitry bult in. If you have any further qustions, email Madrigal.

i have a 27.5 an i think it is safe to say that i would worry more about your speakers than the amp. when an amp clips, higher levels of distortion are generated, which can be damaging to your speakers.
