[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 64827, member: 34"] One can never have too much headroom* in an amplifier. Count your blessings. An amp with just sufficient power reserve often hasn't. Very often musical peaks and transients cause the power demand to exceed the abilities of the amplifier, resulting in clipping and the accompanying distortion that it creates. Sometimes this happens so subtly that we are not aware of it, yet the sound gets a tad bit harsh and unpleasant. Many a good amp has been condemned after being pushed beyond its limits during evaluation. This is wrong, clearly: horses for courses, I say. It would appear that your Exclame is getting used correctly. Believe me, it is earning its keep. *term refers to the amount of available power excess [/QUOTE]
