For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
@uber is the disc warped also ? Assuming you don’t have a subsonic filter, AND the high LF energy on that track and only 100 wpc might in combination push it into protect...????
thanks all for record rack inputs, we decided to go w Prather 2 bin model in Cherry with galvanized rod. Holds about 300 so should hold me for another year, or so......
my next post may ask for decent divorce attorney.....NOT
Tomic. No disc is flat. I took it round to a friend house to play on his system, he has Ayre amps but " normal" speakers by Spendor.
Track 2 certainly has a LOT of energy but was not shutting his amps down.
The EX8 is a great super integrated but it obviously cannot have the current reserves of say even another comparable 100wpc power amp . just not enough room to squeeze everything under the hood.
I am just chalking it up to the Maggie's which probably dipped down to 80db efficiency and 1 or 2 ohms with all that bass energy. The poor old EX8 was just outgunned.
