What is the max volume for Phantom?

[streamy]

I have Silver Phantoms not Gold. These you can crank up to 100 in Spark without any obviously audible distortion. The SAM is an active filter that limits with a dynamically variable low-pass the excursion of the woofers such that they do not get moved over their physical limits. This means the frequency response of the Phantoms gets worse (less bass) with higher volume. According to some posts here in the forum this limitation starts at a volume of 70 when your input signal is 0dB. So as long as you stay in Spark below 70 you should be able to listen music without low frequency cuts. Of course this remains the case for even higher volume when you are listing a recording or passage in your played track that is recorded with a volume below 0dB. I suppose that the Gold Phantoms work the same and SAM2 performs at least as good as the 'older' SAM. So, no problem to crank them fully up. When you hear distortion then it's on the recording. This sounds then awful but has no impact on your Phantom speakers.
