Lampshade,

If you are going to connect your low-powered SET to someone else's M80s, be very careful not to turn it up so that it clips. Clipping is clipping, whether from a tube or solid-state amplifier and that can certainly endanger the tweeters.

You'd likely hear a kind of mushy distortion and collapse of the stereo soundstage before the clipping would damage drivers.

Regards,

Alan
