The amp then can't supply a nice sine wave and starts to flatten out; the sine wave doesn't get a chance to come back from low to high quick enough and the end result is almost a DC current. From what I understand, that is how you blow up speakers with an amp that works above its current ability.

If it's true that the (digital) pre-amp is the only thing that changes when you change the output power settings then this should technically not happen. The only way I can see this happen is if the Dev would cut the amount of output transistors used when you cut output power. And if that were the case, the sound could change too because digital volume controls (apparently) sound better when turned up.

I think this is a question for the Devialet team.

Pim, thanks for the input. My conclusion is that despite cutting the power output to half ie 200W this should not happen (I didn't turn up the volume that much) it must be a configurator glitch that throws the amp into a setting that obviously doesn't work. With 200 W on tap the Raidhos shouldn't present a challenge for the amp. 
Right now I do not have the power to write to Devialet about this and then wait in vain for an answer or if answer comes it will not address my issue. I will stick to my full power setting and old config until I now.

So it's a glitch then. Nothing new in Devialet land Wink
Exactly, same ol' same in the land of promises... Well if they managed to come up with these chromed wonders I am sure they will fix everything one sunny day...
