Right ok thanks, but if I had more powerful speakers wouldn't I still be in the same position of damaging the amp when played at high level? As now it might be only do 80 watts per channel as someone mentioned. Whereas maybe if there was a external amp it would be at full potential all the time? To be fair we do always have some sort of party there so they will be loud every now and then, also the rooms pretty larger than normal. Rather take your guys help before its to late
