Could using extion leads from the mains be dangerous for my Hi Fi?

Hi,

I was wondering whether using a couple of extension leads from the mains to connect my Cambridge Audio Dacmagic 2 DAC and Marantz PM6003 amp (and, through the amp, my Wharfedale 10.1 speakers) could cause damage the system - perhaps it would be underpowered? I need to provide music for a large room of people tonight and unfortunately the only working mains supply in the room is very awkwardly placed.

Thanks for any help!

Rob

Forget the mains, that'll be fine.

However, if you need loud music for a 'large room of people' then you might end up blowing tweeters (or tripping protection circuitry) or over-stressing your amp with unfortunate results.

Hopefully you don't need the music to be much louder than your normal levels. (Especially don't let anyone else take charge of your hi-fi.)

Domestic kit like yours doesn't take kindly to doing duty as a PA rig.
