JCole Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My speakers are as listed in my signature. My Pioneer receiver auto-calibrates the levels to -8.5db for the fronts, -9.5 for the center and -8db for the surrounds. That is, when the volume is turned up to reference level, it pulls back the speakers for 75db (I think). Anyways, if it's pulling the speakers back that far, does that mean I have enough headroom to listen at reference volume without clipping ? How well would the speakers handle this ? I'm not actually planning on playing that loud, as I'm in a condo, but I'd like to know how far I can push this setup without damaging anything.

wuzzzer Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It depends on your amp. As long as you aren't hearing audible distortion you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdarren Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I had a Synergy F-3 setup with an Onkyo 805 pushing them. I could turn the dial to painful and the speakers kept on putting out great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
