[QUOTE="only126db, post: 6023192, member: 586915"] Ok well I guess you are right and I am wrong (read below)...... Here are some emails I sent and recieved: [COLOR=red]To Zapco from me:[/COLOR] Is it hard on an amp when it is producing a clipped waveform? [COLOR=red]From Zapco to me:[/COLOR] Yes [COLOR=red]To McIntosh from me:[/COLOR] Is it hard on an amplifier when it is producing a clipped waveform? [COLOR=red]From McIntosh to me:[/COLOR] It is not too great for the amp, it also produces about 10 times as much energy in the high frequencies and will blow tweeters, The Power guard circuit will keep McIntosh amps from clipping with up to 16dB of over drive, so even with the power guard light on full, you would still have to turn the preamp up a bunch more before it will clip.
