And no mention of speakers. I am selling my Phase Linear because it blew so many speakers. What (watt) are we talking here ? A thousand speakers that can handle what, a couple thousand apiece ?

I am presently running an amp capable of 500 watts into its speakers (Citation 16 into Maggies). I can (and do) play at any volume I would care to - that is I could tolerate without ear damage - and without clipping. I have no worries about speaker damage. The Citation 16, while not quite in the Phase Linear 700B class, certainly is in the 400 class.

I use regularly two brute-force amps, both HK products (Citation 16 & 19). Again I can (and do) run *LOUD* and have never, repeat, never damaged a speaker thereby. This is not to mention the several other amp & speaker combinations in the inventory.

I suspect user-error.
