Re: help:clipping on powered speakers

2009-03-13 by niceguycolumbus1

A guy at Guitar Center told me that he thinks it is (input?) sensitivity mismatch between my kit and the speaker.

This is all way too much for a guy who just wants to unplug the headphones and share his music once in a while. And since at the moment, I have more money than time and patience, I am biting the bullet and buying a piano amp.

I appreciate everyone's help here. This has always been a great forum.
