So, thinking of trying out this speaker tap thingie with my balanced LCD-2, HE-500, LCD-XC and maybe HE-400. I can build the 4-pin female XLR-Banana adapter quite easily, might use speaker cable if anyone does not advise against.
This is the amp I plan to use. Whats the risk of headphones or something else going boom?
