I don't think there is a method for predetermining it. By checking, I meant slowly turn the SB3->303 from zero until it's at maximum listening level. Since the SB3 vol scale works in .5 dB steps you can roughly estimate how much attenuation would put your loudest listening level at 100/100. If you can only bear to turn it up to 60/100, that roughly equates to needing 30 dB attenuation to properly use the SB3 as preamp. If your friend is handy maybe he can wire the appropriate resistor into your interconnect? If I read correctly those Dynaudios were rated at 150W continuous power handling, so it doesn't seem like a short burst of full power from your 50W amp would hurt them (though the nature of the noise won't be musical..) OTOH, if you were doubling the continous rated power of the monitors at 300/side- and using the SB3 as preamp with a max volume of 12, you'd be running considerably more risk. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29722 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
