[QUOTE="thch, post: 1826019, member: 562032"] it is more likely to clip (edit, at a lower power output then it should be), in general. it really depends. when a large load (large power draw) is put on the power supply of the amp, the power supply sags. if there is no corrective measures, this leads to an earlier onset of clipping. this explains why many amps cannot put out double power with low impedance loads. amps that use regulated supplies will have less issues with this because as the power supply voltage drops, the power supply changes its operation to correct the issue. for your purposes though, the clipping isn' a large issue. to solve the problem, simply turn down the gains a bit. or reduce the volume. ect...
