Well, a couple things to note. First, I do plan to use the laptop as the primary player and not the Gemini. The Gemini is strictly for backup. But these are great things to watch for. Secondly, I'm obviously concerned about blowing the EONS. We walked through the readings on the Carver amp and he showed me the levels and where I needed to back off. The amp also obviously has controls on the front of the system to manage the output from the front of the unit, but I really do need to get a compressor/limiter or whatever the official name is in order to make sure that I don't blow the speakers as a fail safe.

Any suggestions on brands or folks here selling them, etc.?

It is my understanding that a C/L is not a fail safe mechanism. It's primary function is for vocal use and shines the most in this position. If you are doing any karaoke work this would be it's intended use.... placing a C/L in line with your mixer output can be a detriment to your overall sound.

Best thing to do is back the amp off to about the 10-12 o'clock position depending on output.... if the speakers start to distort especially on loud passages of music back the amp off more.
 
I'll agree with the Gemini cd players. A good player for now, but I'd still look at replacing it at some point even if it's only being used for backup. I say this mainly because if you have to go to a backup, you want that backup to be as strong as possible so it won't fail on you as well. The Carver amp, I believe it was somebody on a thread somewhere around here who said you can throw one down three flights of stairs, plug it in and it'll keep on going. I also have to second getting an EQ; it will make a huge difference in your sound and your ability to tweak your sound to the individual rooms you're in.
