One more thought on this. ... a “you have clipped” led which latches for a few seconds so you know that your playin’ it too loud ... maybe call it a “you need to upgrade” led
Put a network adapter in the amp and it could order the upgrade for you.

I was thinking about what gotcha's were involved with a moderately priced amp which would clip at very loud volumes (moderate for you) and how that would be noticed by users. BTW A single led would light if any channel went into clip. (Think open collector) As for reading manuals ... 25% of the world will tosses them with the packaging, 73% will throw them in a drawer for a few years before tossing them and 1.98% might read a a bit before they put it in that drawer to eventually be tossed in a ... Face it not many love to curl up with a good manual at night ... even with a hot cup of cocoa ... I know Mojo ... it's hard to image ... Note: Of the people who actually read about the speaker sounding funny if things clip ... 50% of them will forget and give the speaker a one star review for being flaky at loud volumes ... the others will probably blame the amp

A single LED is much better because it is bringing us ever closer to zero. Regarding your question about how users would react, do you have an ADA? The first time mine went into protection, I was like "Whoa!" and my head popped up. I actually have never heard the kind of protection the ADA has. I knew it was protected but I didn't know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised when I realized what happened. Kudos to Axiom on that one! It is difficult for me to imagine someone NOT enjoying a manual. I read them all with a very critical eye. I've read some excellent ones where you could tell some engineer who had real passion for the product and the industry s/he was in wanted to make sure users felt their passion through the manual...LOL! Most though are deplorable tripe. BTW, there is a single LED on the ADA faceplate today. There are multiple LEDs inside the chassis. The power LED on the faceplate was evaporating my retina and Andrew fixed that. Nonetheless, I put a sticky over it because although no longer unsafe, it's still annoying to all.

BTW, do you want a lamp test switch to test that single LED? Otherwise how could you be sure that it's gonna light up when you push the amp too hard?

Agreed every manual needs at least one run through. I normally save all mine in a letter box. Regardless of type.
If you have an ADA just set the volume limiter in your AVR. I keep mine at reference as a precaution. Even at that level {Reference}I've not managed to clip or trigger my ADA1250. Thanks Mo, Good to know it will just shut off if ever overly pushed.

It temporarily cuts out very smoothly. No clicks or pops. Try it.

Made it up to see the fine folks at axiom last Friday. I picked up my 2nd EP500 and a pair of QS10s. . Next I'm looking for a prepro. Audio show is on in Toronto the weekend looking forward to just looking no purchasing. Ran out of Audio cash for a bit.
