[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8845081, member: 673702"] Some people like the sound of clipping, it sounds "hotter" and compresses the dynamic range. Sound engineers will actually record clipped signals into the music now-a-days and have been compressing dynamic range for decades. Just be aware clipping can kill amps and speakers. Setting the gain to 2v with a 5v source would give you ~4db of clipping during musical peaks. Just make sure the amp has plenty of airspace to avoid overheating and don't listen for too long at max volumes. Hopefully the speakers are overrated (compared to the amp) so they can survive the additional power a clipped signal induces. [/QUOTE]
