All speakers set to 'small', crossover at 50hz. 3200cu ft room. Bi-amped M80's, if that makes a difference.

I'm sure there is a point at which the LPA-1 will shut down. There is for any amp. I suppose I could crank it way up and then just leave the room until it shuts down, but that's a bit silly. For what I would consider *loud* listening, 90-100db in my seat, I've listened to 2 channel music for more than an hour or two with no problems. The amp was certainly warm to the touch. Any lounder than that just isn't enjoyable to me - it's too loud.

Last weekend my wife and I watched 2, 2+ hour movies back-to-back at 'loud' levels. Eragon and Master & Commander (again). Driving all 7 channels (4x to M80's, center, surrounds) and the amp was definitely warm after the evenings viewing, but no sign of distress.
