I purchased my first pair of Axiom speakers (M60's) just this past Christmas. I have been loving life ever since. This was my first step into "hi fi" and it was a pleasant one. Anyway, since my purchase I have been extremely paranoid about damaging my M60's. I listen to various types of music at what are probably very high decibals. Some of the music I listen to has some pretty hefty bass to it. I own a Sony DE-545 100Watt reciever (the reciever and a sub will be my next two upgrades). Unfortunately this particular reciever does not tell me what decibals I am listening at...it only has an integer scale of 1 - 30.
I many times listen in the 22 - 27 range. I know the M60's are rated at 250 watts but is there anything else I should watch out for (besides clipping) that could potential damage my speakers?
