Dombo Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I have a pair of KLF-30's and a Denon 3802 receiver. Is it safe to go pass 0 on the volume? It goes from -70 to +18. I have turned it up pretty loud and don't hear clipping (absent chucks of sound, right?) But I don't want to do something stupid. Also, I believe that that the KLF-30's can handle 200 watts (continuously) and the denon only puts out 110. What does that really mean? Thanks a ton for you rhelp and saftey precautions.

pierceb Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Dombo, I have the 3802 and RF-7's and I've gone to +3 once or twice with very clean sounding CD's and DVD's but not for very long. I personally found no reason to go much past this as most of the windows in the house are rattling (it's time for a window upgrade before any audio upgrades). I too have not heard any sign of clipping at this level, however I cherish my RF-7's, I'm leary on going much past this. I have heard that a couple of people on this board have cranked their Denon's to +18 (not sure if any damage occurred). I'd be worried out hearing damage at that volume. -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I also have a Denon AVR3802 connected up to a complete Reference Series 3 setup. My and one of my friends did crank it up to about +10 and still got very clean sound, but my ears were starting to hurt. We only had it up that loud for a brief second , just to see what this new system can do (I guess like taking a new car and seeing if it can really go the 120mph it says it can go on the speedo). I don't plan on cranking it up that loud again, and I would not advise it for the simple fact that not only is it hard on the equipment, but more importantly, it is very hard on your hearing. ------------------ Steven Konopa Fredericksburg, VA Another proud member of the "Klipsch Klub".

toddvj Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Yeah, spare your ears. That kind of volume level is definitely not safe for your hearing. ------------------ My Home Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
