overpowering and loud listening.


I recently auditioned used eggleston works andra 2 speakers. My concern is they have a manufacturing recommended power rating of 300 w and the owner was using Pass x 6oo's to power them. That accompanied with the fact that they were played what I consider to be very loud for most of their two years of usage. has caused me to post this question before I consider buying.

The extra wattage is a good thing in that his amps would be less likely to clip. The constant playing at loud levels should have caused soime audible damage if it was going to. Since it didn't cause anything obvious to breakthey may be OK. BUT listen to the speakers very carefully for rubs and or missing sound, the damage may be there even though it is not immediately obvious. So there is a downside, perhaps you can have them assessed by a pro speaker tech for problems.
It kinda sounds like you don't feel comfortable with this deal so why do it? You should be happy with the gear you want to buy.
