I must have run the HK AVR7200 out of juice on my fronts (4410s) and that takes some doing.

    Looking back it was way too loud and we try not to let it get that out of hand any more :-)

    Out of the many pairs, and several that are daily drivers, I've only lost one 044 in my original 1983 purchased L112's.

    My 250Ti run every day there's someone in the house. They're the mains in my 7.1 setup, one of the two subs is a B460. They often get to stretch their legs and go LOUD. The L112's in my office every day. A few of the 20 or so pairs in the basement cave see frequent use.
