I've never heard of anyone blowing their tweeters with clicks and pops, but statics will.
Can clicks and pops blow a tweeter?
I picked up a very good recording of the 1812 overture and selections of Bordine, Mousgoursky, and Rimsky Korsakov (Vox STPL 511 . 690), At the Goodwill for 50 cents.The problem is that I didn't notice a very small nick that makes a pretty loud pop for 2 revolutions and a click for one more. I was wondering if this kind of signal produces the tweeter blowing distortion or not?
The Details ( please skip this if you know)
I don't play it extremely loud while I am in exile only nearfield. I do play it loud enough to get the excitement and wild dynamics in these pieces. The speakers are new Hyperion 585s with 1 inch? fabric tweeters set back in a short wave guide? type horn. The sensitivity is lowish about 86Db and the amp is a refurbed Fisher 400, not sure of the rated power. The output is two 7868s in PP. I am telling you all this because I'm bereft of my Rat Shack SPL meter at the moment. I turn it up as much as 12 O'Clock.
The question is- are clicks and pops weapons of speaker destruction? Thanks for your thoughts.
