Maybe. If you are running both pair of speakers at once, they're probably connected in parallel. If so, this would create a 3 ohm load on the amp. The amp probably doesn't like that too much.

Low to moderate levels of clipping often manifest as harshness in the high frequencies.

Glad to have you aboard, and congrats! on 100 posts!

I bought a collection of over 400 Lps that were stored in a garage here.. no A/C, and many people in this area can tell you it gets up to 100 outside, and even hotter in their garages... not one of them was warped... A closed mind can be your worst enemy...

What wrong with the original. Give me three buddy's and a pickup, and we could take our tunes wherever we need too. Today youth is so spoiled.
