Do Audiophiles blow speakers?

Ask this on the Washington D.C. interns forum for additional input.

Matti,

Some of those young interns also say the "political powerful" in Washington are very hard on books.

Guess they were talking about books, the complaints were concerning "bending over the pages".

Spica Angelus woofers tweeters got tired of replacing them their Great speakers but just can't play loud enough for me.
Interesting story my friend had a party his Cerwin Vega woofers got totally trashed when someone pushed the 10 db gain button on the preamp, was already 100 decibels already.

i guess if your speakers are soundind sweet it's just natural to want to make them louder. it is for me and i have blown my celestion impact 25 woofers with my ps audio hca amp last year . then the following year blew the tweeters then now again the woofers.gets expensive replacing them . not sure how iam doing it since my amp has plenty of current & i don't hear distortion cause we all know how crappy distortion sounds.and it just makes you want to lower your preamp to get rid of it . but in my case i started hearing a rumbling sound in my woofer one morning then realized something was wrong then before i could replace it the other woofer in the other speaker started having a worse rumble than the other one.then i realized i damaged i guess the voice coils or the diaphrams in them and at this point am looking to get new speakers all together.in the last 6 months i blew my car jl audio sub woofer by blowing the voice coil with a ppi 400 watt ampin guess i pushed it a tad over its rating no one i talked to has heard oif blowing a jl audio sub with a ppi amp but i did.150.00 for repair or 160 for a new speaker that's a no brainer. i guess i really need to chill on the volume but i want it louder.i have a power amp rated at 225 wpc ps amp and an m&k mx 105 sub and still doesn't seem tyo play loud enough for me so i keep blowing my speakers .maybe i am buying speakers with to small a woofer in them . 8 inch woofers should be ample right! this is getting old and at this point i am so frustrated with it i feel like selling everthing i bought and just get some good headphones.not sure why i am writing this crap i already know what i need to do just play my music softer but hell thats weak.enjoy.

Easy Bassman99 easy. It's the weekend. Head on over to the loudest band in town tonight and hang out by the monitors. You'll feel much better till the morning, anyway. Just kidding! Don't do it. Your ears will thank you.
