Ok I'm not sure how to ask this so here goes. I have got most of my speakers for my little home theater. I have an Onkyo receiver that you can control how much sounf is output the each seperate speaker. Currently I have the receiver set on 43 and each speaker is set on +6. My o;d speakers I had each speaker set to zero with the master volume on 53. With the second setting I hit about 73db. Now on the new setting I hit about the same and if you turn the receiver up to 53 it can get real loud. Now my question is if I boost each speaker to a +12 I hear more detail. What are the chances of blowing a speaker if I listen at 43 with a +12 setting? I don't notice any distortion and the front speakers are Klipsch RB 61's and are rated for 100 watts max and 250 watts peak I think. The rears are rated for 75 watts max.

I just don't want to blow new speakers.

I hope to have photos up next week. Sub should be here tomorrow and center channel either tomorrow or monday.
