I went to audition a pair, brought my 1812 Overture CD, played it at > concert volume, and blew one of the subwoofer drivers at the fourth or fifth cannon shot. My main question is: Is this reasonable behaviour from a high-end speaker system in general? What are your experiences with speaker blowouts? I'll bet you're saying "Gee, this guy's a jerk for playing THAT so loud", but the salesman assured me that the speakers could handle it....
