Does anybody out there own a Bennett Sound Corporation (BSC) Compusound
100 speaker system (~$2000 speakers+subwoofers)?  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....

Enlightenment greatly appreciated, Dave
