Re: "Crank it up" - Cheap AVR's vs Headroom


My experience is that if you turn it up until it sounds bad and back it off a bit you are likely fine. You won't likely damage good quality speakers nor amps with short periods of clipping. It is the folks that constantly push the limits that damage things. Just be aware of temperature on the amp and quality of sound from the speakers and you will be fine.
