[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 73483, member: 24"] 500 watt amp run into 500 watt rated speakers. I jumped my FOH including a sabine navigator for DSP straight into the amps bypassing the rest of the installed system. I know for a fact the board, the input and the output were clean with no clipping during the show. I checked the amp (upstairs and not readily available) during sound check at about 120% of my show level. It was barely showing level. The show level was about 90 db at 40 feet where FOH was located. The was no significant compression on the signal and the music was bluegrass. If it was power compression than something is significantly wrong with the boxes themselves which is what I am trying to determine before recommending they invest a couple of hundred dollars in replacing the cables. That is the same reason a simple swap test is not reasonable. I would have to uninstall either the speakers or the amps to test with cables I have, or go ahead and buy and install new cabling not being sure that is the problem. [/QUOTE]
