[QUOTE="frikkie, post: 97255, member: 845"] Very much so, I think. And also a reason why seriously big outdoor rigs uses crazy amounts of power, with huge amounts of headroom, and of course, lots of limiting and compression, to not use up that headroom too quickly. Also, pro drivers tend to be very high efficiency, to combat power compression as much as possible. Having said that - I can get serious volume out of my home system, with plenty of headroom still available, before power compression becomes a noticeable problem. Intermodulation distortion on it's own, especially in the hifi world, I've only ever found as a result of a not-so-great amp - which, in the case of the cable test, I find surprising. The equipment was top notch! [/QUOTE]
