Re: Intro to bi-/tri-ampingYou certainly run a risk, yes, if you don't have proper limiting in place. By proper limiting, I mean two-stage limiting to keep both rms and peak power under control. The long term power handling/rms of the HF driver is only 75 watts. So ~150 watts would be considered program power. The driver is rated for short term (peak) power of 300 watts, or 4x the rms rating. At 440W without proper limiting in place, it's more than possible to cook the driver. You need a processor that has the ability to do 2-stage limiting. As far as I know, the BSS Minidrives are the least expensive processor that will do this.Greg
