Guilty as charged. I use a pair of JBL J2050 for everything, and I surely don't want to ruin them as I probably won't be able to replace them anytime soon. My temporary solution is to run the amp around 10 - 12 o'clock at maximum. But I know your warning all too well having blown a pair of speakers before (good thing, they were inexpensive ones.) Still, that was when I still had my day job so they were promptly replaced. You can rest assured I won't be making the same mistake now.
