Let's say I have a driver capable of operating at it's limits around 200-300 watts before reaching overexcursion. Would getting an amplifier capable of about 200-300 watts be better to use than, let's just say, a 1.21 Gigawatt amplifier?
It sort of seems like a double-edged sword to me. In my mind, if I amp-limit, then I risk putting the amplifier into clipping during a loud transient. If I just put 1.21 Gigawatts of amp into it then I risk turning my driver into a weird aluminum cone railgun during a loud transient or any infrasonic burp that the amp recieves!
So what is safer to do, amp-limiting or amp-unlimiting?
