Too Much Power

I’ve seen more speakers blown from accidents, like pulling an interconnect with the amp on, or volume set at full blast than the supposed danger of harmonic distortion from clipping burning out tweeters.  That sort of extreme distortion is so obvious that no half intelligent person would allow such abuse to go on long enough for the tweeters to go.  Unnecessary reserves of power do not protect your speakers—they only tempt one to over drive the speakers.

@gnoworyta the preamp is also PS Audio, the model is the BHK Signature

with speakers rated at 900 watts and have little concern about over powering or damaging them

You have a home audio speaker that can take 900 watts?

I bought these to replace a Peachtree 220. They are light weight, dead quiet and sound great. I got an offer from PS Audio to trade them for a BHK Stereo 250 so I accepted and shipped the monoblocks back. The 250 is a lot noisier but is creamy and wonderful.  Too much power is better than not enough, and you would have to turn up the volume almost all the way to get close to the maximum output. The 250 watts is more than I need because my speakers have powered subwoofers and the input impedance is over 20 ohms at low frequencies. 

@russ69 I know 900 watts sounds like a stretch and I can neither confirm or deny, though that is what's listed on the product literature
