I've got a question about headroom while monitoring. I just picked up a pair of ns10s, and for a temporary amplifier I will be using a 30 watt marantz reciever (til school where I will probably be running off a friend's QSC). I was told that running the 30 watt marantz will be bad for monitoring because the details won't be there becuase the amp will be pushed too hard. My friend said that the 1300 watt QSC will be better because it will push enough wattage through and barely be cranked. It somewhat makes sense, but could someone explain it to me? Also, will running the marantz be harmful to the monitors in any way because they are below the rated wattage (like distortionwise)?
