All 4 amps were checked for power output and distortion, all measured in spec. In fact, they were making far less distortion than your amps. They were at o.1% or .5% at full power, 90wpc, and I have been able to clip a 500wpc/4 Ohm Bryston and be under 95dB. My room is about 15X30 ft. You must have a magical amp. I have tried about 15 different ones. Happy listening, Jallen

I don't honestly think your speakers would survive a full 500 watts going into them becuase a fuse or two would blow most likely or damage to the panels. How is it possible that you could clip this amp with such a low volume unless there is something wrong with the speakers then? This implies a senstivity of low 70s db range.

70db 2 watt
73db 4
76db 8
79db 16
82db 32
85db 64
88db 128
91db 256
94db 512

You see the problem? I simply don't believe your SPL measurement because it implies a 70db sensitivity and I KNOW they aren't that bad unless broken.
