I can lay the meters flat to the right for hours at a time with my WO'd FC 400, I do it daily
Getting a little tired about people perpetuating the flame linear urban legend. The amps that did that were abused being made to do things they were not designed for... I can show you Lee's ancient Aerosmith 400 still pushing hard in the garage after years of Pro use by Aerosmith and others who rented it from Handley Sound. Out of something like 20+ Aerosmith PL700 and 700B amps, only one was flamed and that's because one of the huge reserve power caps spewed
Let's see some of the talking heads do this with their amps and expect it to survive and not destroy their speakers with clipping... I have yet to get my amp to clip. The WO upgrades are phenomenal
I apologize for the SQ, the camera mic can't handle the SPL's. Playing a MFSL 24kt Boston Third Stage CD in the below vid. Not a hint of distortion or clipping and pushing 300w's easy. I did not even have to turn on the dual fans for the length of the disc, it stayed fairly cool and she has more to give, I just don't have speakers that can take much more
I do recommend that anyone with a stock Series 1 to get the DC protection, never have to worry about taking out a set of speakers. Do the full monty WO Full Comp upgrades and you will have an amp that will last your lifetime and probably your kids to
