Agree 100% w Rrog's comments. My 989s went into protection mode everytime I play orchestral pieces with cymbals eg. Rach II 3rd mvt. Whether your run a crossover to move the bass to a sub is irrelevant. Want to play loud? get Wilsons.
Will high SPL subwoofers damage planar speakers?
Hello!
I am looking at upgrading my mains to something in the realm of the Quad 989s or the like. I am worried that placing them in front of my Audiophysic Luna subwoofers may cause damage to the panels by forcing them to move from SPLs in the 100-110db range. Has anyone experienced this problem, or can set my mind at ease about possibly damaging the panels in an electrostatic speaker given this configuration?
Thanks!
