I use an Audio Alchemy OM150, rated for 150 watts into 8 ohms. The amp has a clipping indicator on the front, if/when I see it lighting up, usually above zero db on my AA DLC, I back the volume down a bit. I don't often listen at those extreme levels, but I haven't had any problems.
Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED
They were purchased new from a dealer in 2007. I'm using an all PS Audio system (except for a Denon multi-player for a transport). I Was using a p300 power plant till about a month ago I purchased a Power Plant Premier here at Audiogon. Two weeks later the midrange drivers in both speakers are gone. They have since been to the factory for repair and returned. Repair wasn't covered by warranty. They said if the speaker was defective it would have already blown during the first three months.
My system:
Trio P200 pre amp
Digital Link III D/A converter (with Cullen Circuits level 3 mod)
GCA 250 Power amp
Power Plant Premier
The speakers are rated a 350 watts; but my PS Audio 250 watt amp cooked the midrange drivers in both speakers. Go figure...
Just wondering if anyone else out there may have had the same or similar problem?
