I wouldn't do it, simply because the SB hasn't been designed for this. This means that development and QA might not prioritise safeguarding against "max volume accidents" as much as if the product was intended for it. The fact that SD people here warn against doing so is probably a good indicator too. My decision would also be influenced by the value of my speakers, and what my power amp could do to my speakers should a problem occur. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23577 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
