Sherman: how to not kill monitors

hi folks,

i just bought a sherman filterbank 2 and the biggest worry I have now is to kill my Yamaha HS8 monitors…

I am thinking of buying a compressor to limit the output

here is a list of my toys … what would you do?

OT A4 MD MM

Allen&HEath Zed10

Focusrite Scarlet 2i4

Sherman FB2

Electrix Warpfarctory Vocoder

Yamaha HS8 'Monitors

Ableton9

I was thinking of getting an old valve compressor for round 300 Euro, but a friend told me, you would have to replace the valves every 4 years or so… is that true?

How would you use my gear?

… final thought: Shold I just route it through Ableton9 and have Limiters and Compressors in there?

thanks for all advice!

For just limiting I wouldn’t spend the money.
