Whenever I crank up the volume on the preamp my speakers clip. Should I buy speakers with less watts?
I HAVE A PAIR OF JBL SPEAKERS MODEL S36II (150w). I am using a HK 4000 amp (45w, 100w bridged),and a NAD 1300 preamp. |

speakers don't "clip" Amplifiers clip. Speakers compress. What is it? Clipping? Or compressing? |

You've probably cranked up the volume too many times. You've clipped the amp and busted one or several of your speaker components. You've blown a tweeter. Fix it and don't crank up the volume till it distorts. |

Albaro, NO, you should buy a more powerfull amp. Do the speakers sound distorted all the time or just when you crank em? If just when you crank them, it's the amp crapping out. All the time, it's the speakers. Do you run the loudness button on? Bass increased past center? These both rob your amp of power. Bass frequencies from 200hz down, take 85% of all power. A powered sub may also help. Protect your ears at all cost. Buy a system that sounds great at lower volumes. They DO exist. |
