I just checked out the LMC/LPA combo and have to say it looks nice. I'll have to consider this. So this volume that it shut down was when your hearing was distorting? I'm guessing thats pretty loud. I' m wondering though if that might be a volume I might want sometime for a "get together" with some friends? Or is it just ridiculous volume were talking about?
