Well, I thought I had a great speaker going: Peerless 850146,
Silver Flute 5 1/4" midrange, Silver Flute YAG-20 tweeter. I had a great
cabinet made, wired it up, and played in my house for a couple of days.
The sound was outstanding. So I called up my buddy to try the speakers
out in his all Chord system, in a much larger room than mine, somewhere
between 3 and 4 thousand cubic feet. He likes to listen to music quite a
bit louder than me, I figured this would be a good way to put the power
handling of the speaker to the test. They lasted all of about five
minutes, before both Silver Flute 5 1/4"s fried almost simultaneously.
We weren't even listening to anything obnoxious: Pat Metheny. I was both
surprised and hugely disappointed. I'm guessing at the listening level
we were listening to the amp was maybe hitting 200 watts on peaks, which
is pretty good power, but certainly well within the limits of what I
expected the speaker to handle. Now I'm wondering if the sealed midrange
chambers in the cabinets weren't sealed well enough, and back pressure
from the woofer did them in. Or are the Silver Flutes just wimps?
