Wink, I mean, I will be putting gaffers tape with max. volume levels for the new monitors ASAP. These "new" speakers were made in the late 1970's but were over $1000/pair in 1980 dollars back then. So the speakers are loud enough to cause hearing damage, and turning up too much can blow out a woofer since the Urei board pushes 40 watts norm, but can peak at 60+ according to the schematics and electrical shock I got last night. Ouch! %#^$&@!!! So please be careful with the MONITOR volume to protect the speakers and your hearing! About 25% is a pretty loud level, I'd guess 80-90dB range. More new toys coming soon! Feedback most welcome. Enjoy! Cheers, Wink -- WinkJunior@xxxxxxxxx http://sound-o-mat.com/~winkjr
