Just took my new 108s for a spin this week at a party. Was pretty excited. Played house music and techno for 4+ hours with almost always 80 or above on the volume. Stereo pair. At first they sounded great, but eventually they couldn’t handle the volume. They started to decrease in output, and the bass started making weird pounding noises, almost as if someone was banging against the wall. I think I may have blown one or both of them. I did find one of the speakers to have the front clip around the tweeter blown off.
Has anyone had experience reaching the limit of these things? Should I expect to not use these things at parties and use regular PAs instead? Not sure if it matters but output was via RCA to Digital converter (and optical in).
Your thoughts and help is appreciated, thanks!

I think you just might be unlucky with your Phantoms. Devialet apparently has 100 phantoms running at 100% 24/7 at their HQ so take that for what you will. I’ve also got a pair of Gold Phantoms and have had them at 100% for a few hours with no issues so I recommend contacting Devialet for a replacement
