Good to ’see’ you here again…

Well, sometimes speakers do fail, those with and without ceramic drivers, but in this case, with the pre-amp at full volume, we can assume that 1) I forget which pre it was, but it is likely generating a lot of distortion at that setting and 2) it is likely to be over-driving the 300 [I presume it was their larger amps] watt Tenor amps at what 7? 10? volts.

Kind of would like the amps to blow a tube or a fuse - but I think those amps are largely solid-state, i.e. not using tubes for the output stage. Even so, I know the Edge solid-state amps will shut down if they are generating excessive output [we know, it saved us once with the big Acapella Triolons And in that case it was also user error - though not mine and not Neli’s ].

Anyway, it seems to me that I wouldn’t want any speaker *I owned* to be on the receiving end of what the Kharma speakers were getting at that point. I guess we can ask all Kharma detractors to put their own speakers up for a similar test to see if they survive a similar situation Naw, that would be mean of us…

Take care,
Mike.
