I was wondering about this... I have the normal X7 with upgraded power supply and I would like to use the higher power amp setting with my Sony SS-CS5 speakers (6 ohms).Question 3: I have the limited edition higher power X7, when I check the box for high power amplification at set volume above 35%(loud but not that loud) the Elac speakers distort and cut out when it gets loud, for example when shooting a gun in call of duty. The speakers are rated at 120 watts and from what I understand high power amplification enables 50 watts to each channel, so they should be able to handle it right? They are 6 ohm speakers and from what I read I should be using the 4Ohm option on the X7. I can just shut off high power amplification to fix the issue, but why should I have to? Am I misunderstanding, are the speakers not able to handle that power? Link to speakers for specs

But the SB X7 specifies that the higher power amp option is only for 4 ohm speakers (difficult to find) and Creative support told me the same... Is there a real danger (for the X7 unit OR the speakers) to use that option with my 6 ohm speakers?
