[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 17471, member: 126"] Re: 131st AES NYC 2011 I agree that you are unlikely to get companies willing to contribute sacrificial drivers to such a cause, for the obvious negative message that sends, while amp makers would probably fall over themselves for the opportunity. I think it could be instructive to demonstrate how clipping and heavy compression impact the heat value of the audio. Perhaps for the visual, boil some water with a heating element connected to one channel of the amp, while listening to the other (at reduced volume- perhaps several speakers in series to drop level and cover the room better). Size the container of water so loud music below clipping doesn't boil the water, but clipped music does. I'm not sure how to turn that one concept into a whole session, unless you sit around for 20 minutes waiting for the water to boil. At the end of the session you can serve hot tea. JR [/QUOTE]
