I prefer the sound of the 7000 without external speakers, but, I am somewhat conscerned about volume levels.

I certainly don't want to blow a speaker. Normally it is not a conscern, but,some midi tracks have some pretty thunderous bass.

Does anyone know of the chances for damage ?

The only damage I have suffered is to my feelings , when my wife shouts , TURN DOWN THE VOLUME.

Cheers,

Hi Bernie,
about the damage (besides Fran's feelings ) I have never heart. I use very often the internal equalizer (-PROGRAM MENUS - REVERB & EFFECT - EQUALIZER -ON) with or without external speakers. If you give this feature a try, you will be surprised about the result of the output.
(I have set the most used equalizer setting in the custompanel and/or include the setting in my song records)
Greetings,

Hi Cees

I am not the techno wizard you are,but ,have no doubt that one can tweak the sound through the equaliser to back off the bass,which I shall try.
However, my question is one of possible physical damage to the speakers, and possible warranty just for starters.

I am afraid I am banished to the earphones by my wife when I get carried away.

Bernie, you got the wrong idea. I got an old set of phones I cut the wires off of. When I play too loud for her I got her trained to put on this set of phones. Ruthie says they keep the sound out nicely.

Not so dumb, Grandpa Doug

Poor Ruthie!
Say hello from Georgiana and I, (and I don't believe a word you say, or you'd be eating those old headphones and they don't digest worth a darn.
