I crank my DSP6000's up, trying to get as close to 0 dBfs at a volume setting of 87 (unity gain) and they go very loud indeed if running near there.
The speakers can deliver 107-110dB at a 3m listening position.
I have never seen a clipping light or a shut down on mine.
If you go further than 87 on any Meridian speaker you can get digital clipping on peaks , which is horrible sounding.

I think this is a curious, one off thread. When I've looked through this forum for 6ks comments I've found 95% unequivocal recommendations. I've bought them and been much more than happy.
5ks �1k, 5k2 �3k, 6ks �4k, 7200.2 �10k, 8k �15. 6ks stand out distinctly on this diminishing return curve, all IMHO.

DSP use a hybrid analogue and digital volume control. Are you certain that above 87 they will produce clipping ?
That is not my understanding.

If the signal at 87 is close to 0 dBfs - then if the DSP6000's apply any digital gain thereafter - you could get digital clipping. If all the gain in the DSP6000's is analog after 87, you wouldn't.
