If I recall, Lonnie told me the MPS-1 had a "waveform limiter" circuit that was protecting the amp. I don't believe the other amps, or current designs have this circuit, not sure.
Lonnie provided great support and customer service during the 3 months I tried the amp. However, I just could not grasp the feedback saying it was the 80's, or I was driving the amp to its design limits. The 80's are very easy to drive, efficient speakers, that don't fall below 4ohms across the FR.
Something just was not right in my case where an amp with seperate monoblocks with those specs should even flinch. Now the Denon did show some signs of a clipping at +10 to +15 but never shut down. The MPS-1 sounded fantastic with no hint of clipping at all, however it would just shut off for no apparant reason.
My current Odyssey monoblocks (based on German Symphonic Line engineering) A/AB just keep going and going an going.
