What to do with too many Watts ? (Off Topic)

Hi Peter,

I don't think squeezing the input is a good solution, because you will
squeeze away resolution. I know, it's analogue, but still.

Just have them lowering the input sensitivity. It is not a bout squeezing at all if they can do this by changing a resistor value.

I just looked it up for the Ucd700 ... THD is 0.007% at 1W and 0.04% at
600W. Isn't that something to look forward to ? We'd probably keep in the
near 0.007% range ...

You can't hear less than 1% distortion (speakers produce more than that!) so who cares about specifications lower than that? More important is the type of distortion and amount of feedback they use...

If no one disagrees, shall I ask this to Hypex ? (I asked it without any
fundamentals before, and received the answer "but you'd have plenty of
headroom". IMO no good if one thick of the volume produces 30W =
airfighter SPL against 112dB sensitivity.

You can ask them whatever you like, I do not need to know. How they will sound is what I want to know...

Ciao,

Bert
