  1. I have a question about the digestibility of power peaks in loudspeakers, in this case my RP 8000. Since I mainly listen to music I usually move in the acceptable range. When listening to loud music, the volume meter of the power amplifier displays a maximum of about 10 watts. If a movie is running it will be more in between. Recently, the volume was due to the discrepancy between language and "action effects", e.g. Helicopter, set very high. Woofers were moving very much. Quite an air surge came out of the bass reflex opening. I have reproduced this scene again and deactivated the speakers on the amp. The volume meter went up to about 150 watts when fully opened . The power amp has 150 watts. The speakers are specified with continuous 150 watts, peak 600 watts. Does that mean that you could theoretically hear the whole movie at full volume, so would exploit these 150 watts output permanently without speaker damage? I am a little bit worried that I could have damaged anything, maybe woofer, by such an accidental level peak, since I felt that the chopper noise was even a little distorted, even though this speaker seems quite robust. Thank you for your effort. Greetings
