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.
