Its a deciding question for Diamond 10.7. Plz help

[ilak2k]

I was having a demo of the 10.7 connected to a Yamaha 1900 rated 130 watts per channel as a stereo setup. Only the floorstanders. With speaker setting as large for the front speakers. And routing the LFE to the front speakers. Setting the crossover at 80hz, if that matters. I heard the left speaker clipping on the AVATAR beginning of the Jake's first flight scene. Audio also clipped in the Hometree destruction scene on both the speakers.

My question is, "are these speakers incapable of going higher volumes?" I was at -4db on the Yamaha when this clipping happened. Is it the reciever or the speaker? Or am I expecting too much from the diamond 10.7?

What's your view on this members? Professionals please guide me here...

Hi,

IMHO, its always a better proposition to buy speakers rated lower than the AMP driving them:

I believe, the receiver is not tweaked to give the best output. There is something called speaker setup on every receiver. You need to fiddle with it to make the best out of it. set the speaker distance from your listening position & adjust the induvidual channel level (Some manufactures list it as db - Increase it).

Clipping indicates that the amplifier is overdriven. It is not a problem with the speaker.
