Sound tripping at "not loud enough" volumes


Hi,

I need more volume...and I know that the amps and speakers can do it...but....

I am using audiolab 8000P series stereo amps, being bi-wired, and bi-amped from a 8000C audiolab prepamp and a sony CD transport.

These are driving NHT 2.3 speakers. with (quite old now) midnight blue cables.

My problem, is that when I get the amps up to around 7 oclock, the mid/treble amp trips and all I am left with is the bass amp working. After turning the mid/treb amp down a bit, and waiting about 3-4 seconds, the amp comes back in again.

I have tried switching the power amps, but it is always whichever amp that is serving the mid/treble range that trips....so presumably not the power amps.

Any clues guys, as even although 6 oclock is quite loud...I REALLY NEED to get the dial up there some times and shake the roof off!

Cheers

When you say "7 o'clock" do you mean one o'clock or are all your clocks upside down?
