First, there's essentially no normal program material down there, and even if there was, the M80 would be so far down at that point(on the order of 30dB down)that the amount of power used would be very low. An impedance of that magnitude can't itself cause a problem; it's a combination of low impedance and high power that could cause a shutdown.


I know the whole situation is strange. That is why it would be great if Ian would silence this rumor. By confirming it or not.

I love my axiom setup and am just curious because my xpa5 works great with them.
