Hello i have the Sony str-dg520 amplifier and i just had a weird occurrance happen to me. this has happened before. after a while of playing audio at max volume all of a sudden the treble (not sure how to speel that) cut out almost completely. i am only using 3 speakers a left right and a center with most of the treble coming out of the center. i know if i turn my amp off and wait a while it comes back does anyone know whats causing this and any way to correct it.
There are not many tweeters handling this kind of power, so where did you get that number from
If you are refering to that your speakers can handle 125 Watts, this doesn't apply to each of the speaker drivers.....
Because of a higher SPL (your tweeter is more sensitive than your mid and bass driver), your tweeter may only be able to handle 30-40 Watts if driven alone.
There is a good change that Enzo's suggestion is right
If you are driving it hard, your amp is capable of sending out short bursts of energy far exceeding the rated 100 watts. It's known as clipping and can be deadly to tweeters. It sounds like you're lucky to have the tweeter protection or they would likely be dead by now. Show restraint around the volume control my friend.
