    Any Advice???? Sony STR-2800 Technics SL-DD2

    Possible to mechanically damage drivers rated for 100 watts with a 35 watt tube amp?

    Okay, my OCD is at me here. I accidentally blasted my system at full volume for about 5 seconds. This happened because of very different levels between tracks on YouTube. I have 2 way speakers rated to handle a lot of power, like 250 watts. My amps are 35 wpc tube amps. Is it possible for these...

    I have a set of beloved 1995 year B&W DM640i with 6.5” yellow Kevlar midrange 4 ohm. When the speakers were playing, the midrange frequencies were phenomenal.

    SX 3900 - Something blew up

    Anyone have any issues with SX 3900 components getting fried? I recently acquired a Pioneer SX 3900 from an estate sale for a song. With the exception of a couple push-button lights everything worked great. I was listening to a record and maybe about 40% into the volume when a slight “pop”...
