A word of caution to anyone using a Z5500. I have managed to cause considerable damage. For a couple of months I had no problems but then at a gig two weeks ago I suddenly got bad distortion which made me think that I had blown at least one of the speakers. I was using high volume at the time.

When I set up at home afterwards I quickly found that the distortion was not being caused by the speakers but was coming from the amp itself. I am now using the Z5500 speakers with the Z2200 amp and they work fine but I am being VERY careful how much oomph I put into them.
