[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8782096, member: 614752"] Those built in "clip indicator" circuits do not actually sniff out a clipped sine wave they're just set to light up at some specific voltage or current that the manufacturer decides is the maximum output of the amp. Generally they'll have a little bit more on tap when you start seeing that light start to come up, but the difference in output between that light and the absolute most the amp will deliver will be inaudible. If you're not chasing numbers you really shouldn't be trying to push too hard beyond that, and if you are chasing numbers you should be watching the SPL meter and not some clipping light or scope.
