About a hundred years ago, I pointed to a mark on the airspeed indicator
dial and asked my flight instructor, "What's that for?" He said, "Don't
fly faster than that." When I asked him, "What happens if I do?", he
replied, "The wings come off." Design limits do matter.
Before I bought my KPA500, I began running my 1,500 watt amp at 500
watts to see if I could tolerate the 4.8dB power reduction. I did it
for about a year. I concluded I couldn't really tell any operational
difference, so I bought the KPA500.
I really really doubt anyone would notice 1.6dB power increase ... on
either end.

I'm reminded of a local who's infamous for "blowing up" his
rigs. He simply can't accept the fact that there -are- design
limitations.
