Afternoon all,
Running a Roksan Kandy amp (120W) with Monitor Audio RS1 standmounters (80W power handling).
NYE / Christmas party approaching, last year I found my Amp seemed to develop a habit of magically turning itself up (even in my absence :roll: )..
My B&W 685s were rated to the same as the amp so I wasn't too worried, the RS1's however are only rated to 60-70% the power the amp is capable of producing.
I don't want to find my speakers wrecked. I could either switch over to using variable output on the DAC and turn that down slightly in the hope it doesn't get found by intrepid (intoxicated) explorers or get the 685s out.
My question is though, where abouts does the 'danger zone' start? (I doubt its a simple case of not turning the amp past halfway as I don't think the volume control is linear anyway).
Thanks.
