I'm fairly well decided on getting a Parasound 2250v2 to use in my future (1 year off hopefully) listening haven where it'll drive proper floorstanders. I haven't bought the floorstanders yet. In the mean time I listen to bookshelf speakers (see specs below). Were I to set the new amp up with the bookshelf speakers would it damage them at moderate volumes? Along these lines- were I to accidentally turn it up so loud I got distortion would that do any damage if it was only for a second or two? The Parasound is a relative beast with these numbers:
All Channels Driven
275 watts x 2, 8Ω
400 watts x 2, 4Ω
Bookself speaker specs:
All Channels Driven
275 watts x 2, 8Ω
400 watts x 2, 4Ω
