Is this valid here as well? Let's say one puts the minimum in the configurator and runs the speakers at volume set to 100%.
This is true of conventional amplifiers, where pushing a too low power amp too hard will cause clipping and a square wave amp output that can trash speakers.
The Devialet's ADH brain will not allow this to happen. It's also worth noting that if you are using SAM, the the amp is programmed to know what will damage the speaker's main driver, in terms of both driver excursion and coil temperature, and will restrict output appropriately.
