Hi, may I know you use what software to play the video? From my pass experience, one possible to cause that is you turn on NORMALIZE.

Well, I frequently listen to music tracks, all kinds of, pop/rock/soul/jazz/instrumental/live etc.

I found that if i try to normalize (amplify to reduce volume difference) audio, I will hear cracks in some parts, but this only hear able when I wearing headphones, on speakers, it is not noticeable yet.

Try check the options whether got NORMALIZE, or try use other players?

wowowowo, your video is not PORN ya? hahahaha

HI just discovered swan products from a fren here, currently im using a logitech z2300 i just grew sick of the bassy sub i even put the bass to half whenever i play a game or music it just kills the mid, i haven heard how a swan m50w sounds can u sifus here give some insight on the product, might want to stop by the shop to hear a demo thanks

hmmm why you want to do that?

Careful with the volume, You don't want to blow the speakers out lol

Voice coil will overheat and melt. Drivers may blow up. Non of these is covered under warranty due to improper use.

actually its can work until u turn up too loud & distortion.
i believe cyntrix is giving advise clear enough to be careful and he trust u are knowledgeable to handle it.

electronic items kena void warranty is understand-able to any modification, improper operation or misuse, natural disaster, accident which is not caused by manufacturing defects. u also can read this from warranty leaflet

Experience is the best teacher even it'll cost you money.Lol btw it should be ok if you dont play it until it distort.  don't worry la bro.

These are all common sense and need no special clarification. One does not buy an automatic transmission car and abuse the transmission then later claim that car manufacturer never told you not to do this as it will void the warranty. Ceteris paribus, buyer beware.

Hi siles, pls don't turn up the volume too loud because if it gets broken because of consumer misuse then it will void the warranty.

This is where the confusion starts. What do you mean by "as long as the volume is fine"? That is also such a vague term.

Hence similarly, the advice from Cyntrix about being careful with the volume is an appropriate general advice. It's like someone telling you, "be careful on the road and don't drive too fast". Just general advice.

If you ask a vague question then how to expect a precise answer? Also, when it comes to speakers, I don't think I've ever seen any manufacturer give a precise answer about how loud is the volume which is the safe limit for a particular speaker.

Of course you can ask support questions. I guess the answer from Cyntrix was yes you can use it but be careful with the volume.

Hi siles,

Preamps shouldn't add gain into a line level signal like an amp would, so normally it should not damage your speakers by double amping or overdriving the speakers to the point of damaging the drivers.

However, should you go over the top with the volume, you may damage the drivers. And since this is out of user negligence/misuse, it will not be covered in the warranty.

And to explain how such damage could occur, cyntrix had described what will happen to the coils if you drive them to very loud volumes. Also, if your preamp somehow causes damage because of double amping (or anything else for that matter), this will also not be covered in the warranty for the same reasons. Such speakers are not designed to be fed from a preamp, more so a modded tube preamp from a tube amp. Such link in the equipment chain may cause damage and it is under the user's responsibility, not seller/manufacturer.
