Powered Kemper blowing speakers?

I was wondering if anyone else has blown speakers with their powered Kemper,

I don't pay at bedroom levels, but I don't play at crazy loud volumes either.

I'm wondering if there could be an issue with my amp. I have blown 3 - EV 12L speakers and now a Kone.

I don't play at bedroom levels by any means, but I don't play crazy loud volumes either.

Also when the Kone blew it was hi-passed @ 100Hz, and running in stereo with a 2nd Kone being powered by a bam200, (which was slightly louder as it was further away from me) and that speaker is just fine.

I'm wondering if there could be an issue with my amp.

Appreciate any input.

Hi, Jason.

I'm sorry you've blown three speakers with powered profiler (including a Kone).

I'd definitely open support ticket for that.

Might not be a bad idea, thanks.

Did you ever watch the wattage meter when playing to see just how many watts you were pushing? I know palm-mutes really push speakers hard.
