I don't currently have a head to test them, but the last few times I played my 120 Peavey tube Butcher head through my Avatar cabs I would get a lot of extraneous noise and distortion from my speakers if I put the volume above 6. At around 7, it's a good volume for jamming with a drummer and guitarist. I felt the Butcher wasn't going to cut it, assuming that maybe it was the preamp overdriving too much causing the noise, but I fear I may have blown a speaker or two.
When I turned back down to 5-6 the cabs sounded fine. Is this an indication that I didn't likely blow any speakers? Would I notice at mid volume if I had blown some speakers? For what it's worth, it sounded good at mid volume, but I got terrible overtones when I pushed it a bit higher.
