This time it's not that insanely overpowered 8,000wx2 amp for headphones. It's using that same amp and using that hookup to drive the stereo audio input on some computer monitors really hard. REALLY, REALLY, RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYY HARRRD!
Perhaps you could drive a small pair of computer speakers like the $20 Sony speakers that have an optional (like 2 watt) amplifier built in that can be turned on to boost the input signal (not like it would need it!) I'm pretty sure it would blow the computer speakers the (insane string of profane words) out of their enclosures. It would also destroy the monitor I'm guessing.
That brings up a question. Does it benefit to drive the inputs of an amp or whatever as hard as they can safely be? I mean, wouldn't it make it so you would barely have to turn up the volume on the amp as far? Say you have it normally at 0 for the loudest listening. Now, would an input where it could be on -40 and be the same volume benefit the amp in any way? I guess you could also drive it's inputs with that 8,000 watt amp at full power + max clipping from driving it's input super hard as well, (does it really matter if the RCA inputs on the back of your amp aren't able to handle much more than say 1500mw anyway?) then turning your current amp as high as it would go! See if that's clipping enough for you!
How would it affect a digital amp if you were to drive it's analog inputs using a tube headphone amp if you were to set your amp at +1 or so then control the volume using the headphone amp's volume control. Would that make it sound like a tube amp? I'm just wondering.
