In Reply to: Clipping is not a dreaded speaker killer -- rms power is 90-95% to blame posted by Richard BassNut Greene on August 25, 2003 at 13:32:09:
taking different routes. You obviously fall into the power listener category. In that regard, you are right. You wind up with the same problems as the underpowered listener. So? What we are talking about here is a guy with a 70wpc amp who claims to stay within reasonable volume levels, who also owns a pair of speakers rated at 50wpc. If they are rated at 50 wpc, that can't be peak power, so in this case the poster should be just fine. What point are you trying to get at?
