If you want a speaker to play at ear splitting levels I would look a horn loaded speakers like JBL or something along those lines.
How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange?
Hi there, I have a pair of B&W Nautilus 803S's in the house (For disclosure I am selling them). I love their sound especially when paired with the ASW-855 crossed over at 40HZ with a Levinson 332.
Anyway I really like these and would like to eventually wind up with another pair of 803's or 802's. My tech told me a story of his friend destroying the midrange on a pair of 800's and I have been scared to play them all that loud seeing as how it is ALOT of money to replace those mids.
When he did this it was playing a MP3 at extreme levels, my understanding is, MP3's play with no peaks and just straight full blown signal
What I am mostly wondering is will I have to worry about beating on a pair of 802's or 803's?
