I think I just blew the left speaker out on my brand new AKG701s! I was listening at loud, but not insane volume, playing them through my Adcom preamp. What happened???
Should headphones blow up at loud, but listenable volume? Might the problem be that I was powering them through the Preamp rather than a dedicated headphone amp?
Any recommendations on how not to repeat this? How loud do people listen?
My hearing isn't pristine, but it's not so bad that I should blow up speakers just to get a nice buzz with Pink Floyd/
