No problems. Big ONK never even gets warm. Output is huge and clean... or, soft and clean, or mid volume and clean. The meters are large and 50 watts indicated 3/4 or more to the right of the scale.

I knew someone would ask. The speaker to the left of the rack is a Michaura M55. Downright gorgeous and sound quality to match. Oh, that's a 3/4" Axiom made titanium tweeter, and ooh, there's a pair of Axiom 5.25" drivers, but the cabinet is a beautiful, hex shaped, heavy, SOLID, piece of work. Sound quality is wonderful.

If you were asking whether there is a speaker behind the rack, no, that's the rack, with holes for cabling.

I'm not sure what the problem is with this? i'm willing to spend an extra $400 to test out the speakers, rather then damage a vintage amp which i know works.

The QSC will handle the shut downs....IF that happens. The old Onkyo...I'm not sure about. Plus i'm not willing to risk a vintage amp that at the time cost as much as the M80's. So what seems to be the problem?

It's pretty basic...if the M80's shut down the QSC.....there are broke. Period. The amp was built to run 4 ohm speakers.
If they work...great...problem solved.

Well, I understand your affection for the big ONK, but it has fault protection ... circuitry which is well established and proven for more than 6 decades. The fault protection protects both your amp and speakers. Don't be afraid. Test it.

Save yourself $400!

BTW, do you have a picture of your M504?

I had a old Kenwood M2A that was able to run the M80s, no problem.

That looks a lot like the Yamaha M80 monster amplifier which also had no problem driving the Big Thiels.

It still runs a set of Bose 901s. I gave them to a very good friend of mine.

The problem with testing like that is...basically, the amp is going to go into protection and shut down. Either with 1 speaker, or both. Lets face it..if it dose not like 4 ohms...just dose not like it. This power amp is OLD...I don't know how good this circuit is , or what it is. If you do this enough...something is going to break. Just not worth the risk to me.

bobt, the word you're looking for is "does", not "dose". That is driving me effing crazy.
