Hey guys, just had a question about using a volume controller in line with some speakers. On my second zone, off of a Yamaha RX-V671 receiver, I use this volume control:

But, I've been through about 3 of these things now. Every time I get the "Check Speaker" on the front of the receiver, after it cuts out. This is after some time of course. And I'm noticing that this only happens at high volumes, passed the 1+ decibel range. Am I just putting too much power to this thing? I've even rewired the volume control. My third one has gone out and that's what prompted this thread.
If that is the case, is there a volume controller out there that can be placed outside and can support a higher wattage? The Russound website notes the one in the link as a 126W, but that seems very very high and I don't think it's anywhere near that.
Any suggestions would be awesome, even just to confirm that my idea of too much power being the issue.
Maybe this could fix it up? Niles makes cool gear, right?
