May be my reasoning is too simplistic, but being an active loudspeaker surely B&O wouldn't give it enough power to do any damage to itself?

That would be a bit like building a car with an engine powerful enough to break the driveshaft when you put your foot down.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking too...

Surely B&O when building the loudspeaker would only use drivers that could handle the amplification capacity of the unit itself ....?  Surely all the drivers used in the Beolab 8002 should be able to handle the maximum volume the speaker is able to reach...?

If you do it right you can blow up every speakers. It is not the constant sound that does the damage, the high peaks in the music do the damage. And there is no way of protecting speakers for every situation, a peak in sound is already there before the protection can kick in. So use them wisely and you will have years of great fun from your BeoLab's 8002. If you want to play loud, buy BeoLab 5!
