[QUOTE="Gliding Dutchman, post: 11318"] Hey Norval... yeah I know the feeling... Once one of my mates came by with a, then to me unknow, NAD 3020B amp to "test" it... Wel, being lekka dof I connected the amp to my perfect set of bookshelf speakers, with a CD player and turned the thing on... no sound but the power meter shot full! A few seconds later smoke started to appear from the bass ports and the smell of burning electronics - shock and horror! It was then that I quickly unplugged all togheter with a few swearwords! Then took the multi-meter and checked the speaker terminals - 40vdc on each!! Eish!! Well, have learnt that day to test each amp that I get before hookin up... GD [/QUOTE]
