Firstwatt B5 max output and clipping

[VuGiaA9]

Hi, I got a B5 active xover from my friend.
I wan to set up my system like this:
DHT pre amp --> B5--> DIY F4 Clone --> OB speakers

My DHT #26 pre amp have gain about 8x, enough vol swing for f4 but I'm not sure about clipping point of B5.
In B4's user mannual, B4's clipping >10v but I didn't find out anything the same in B5's user mannual.

Is that B5 got wide bandwith and low THD at 8-10V output???

Thanks.

that's question for Pa

however , guessing rails at 24V (sum ...... being either +/-12Vdc or once 24Vdc ...... one can expect decent* performance in voltage envelope few volts lower than rail(s)

so , shave few volts from 24 and that's your Vpp

*that's tricky part ...... but remember that pretty much same sort of buffer is in F4 , even if having higher rails ..... principle is the same

just go and try it ; you'll hear clipping if there is any ...... and nothing can go poof!

With a 19V supply, and you can expect about 6 volts rms output max,
and with the 24V supply you can get a good 8 volts at the output of
the low pass filter. That would be 8 watts into 8 ohms with an F4.

6Vrms=16V97pp

8Vrms= 22V62pp

Thank you so much, Papa and Zen Mod
I think 8W into 8ohm is enough for me
