Hey hello
I have a pair of r300, they doesn't give too much spl as R3, i usually listen nearly to the max volume, but sometimes i hear the woofer making the sound of a woofer being overloaded ( because i don't pass the limit too much i hear sometimes the woofer making that weird sound but when i hear that i turn down a bit the volume since it's very little if you don't put too many volume from pre amp )
but my question if it's safe hear music nearly to the max volume ( when i start to hear the woofer producing these weird stuff, but for hear more the woofer doing that thing i need to put more volume but i never did that thing, if i hear the woofer making that weird sound i turn down 1 or 2 step for delete complete that audible thing.


It's safe to listen nearly to the max volume? sometimes i just can't avoide that thing, its very dificult since all the music have different Dynamic range so i can't just sit a number in my pre amp and just never pass...

For example if the music its metal i can't hear the woofer in the early audible distortion i need to make the weird sound a bit louder turn up the volume for notice more the problem, but in music which have more silent pasages, is more noticeable
