Yeah, we'll see if it does 500W into 4 ohms bridged like the AHB2.
It'll be able to put nearly 7W into your headphones. Can they withstand that? Are you putting your hearing at risk?That is my assumption. But I wanted to verify that with you guys.

Volume control is key.
But they need tons of current;they are that ineffecient. Especially that I add a bass shelf.
And if I use less power of my amp, That would be a good thing, as it won't heat up and deteriorate fast.

How about a situation like this.So your solution is obsolete for multiple reasons then.
In most cases there is more than 230V in the mains. For example, in my socket is 243V, so the transformer for 220V will heat up excessively and will work loudly.
When you design a power supply you design it for a nominal voltage range, and a tolerance - eg 220-240V +/- 10% (more often these days with switch mode supplies, somthing like 100-240V +/- 10%)
This will (should) fit the supply nominals and tolerances of the local markets where the product is sold. So in your example, your supply company is within the 230V + 10% tolerance they are expected to provide you with (230 + 10% = 253V). The PSU's of any kit rated for at least 230V + 10% will be fine.
The current voltage standard in EU is 230V all across most European countries, but the actual voltage is on the higher side of 230+V, sometimes reaching 240V. Even back in the 80's I would measure closer to 230 than 220 volts across the sockets. Then some solar panels provide voltage as high as 250V, often causing problems in certain equipment power supply.
252 is still within the 10% tolerance
Yeah - but not great for a lot of electronic gear... if the power supplies aren't fully regulated - everything is running hot....
On the other hand, well design amp power supplies, can use the extra juice to give you more oomph.
It won't be long now (10 years?) before every home will be running on its own Solar+Batteries setup, at which stage, your inverter will determine your voltage, and these concerns will disappear....
... and now the wind has fallen. At least fallen off the front page of https://www.l7audiolab.com/
edit: @JSmith you are right. In my impatience I missed that it is still listed on the right, and only fallen off the "latest release" list. So my crack falls flat. Let's amend my crack to "falling fast". I'm not going to bump this thread though.

It's still there as far as I can see?
... no updates yet though, so maybe a bit preliminary.

In VIC we were purportedly on 230V quite a few years ago.... - but for a long time, Voltage at my home was 252V (pegged right on the max permissible voltage!)

Yeah, all they did was change the nominal voltage and it's limits so there was no actual infrastructure change, AFAIK. Below is the national permitted variation from nominal I dug up, so yep they can operate at 253V for as long as they like.In VIC we were purportedly on 230V quite a few years ago.... - but for a long time, Voltage at my home was 252V (pegged right on the max permissible voltage!)
