In Reply to: No damage is done by underpowering speakers - you're 95% wrong posted by Richard BassNut Greene on August 25, 2003 at 13:19:49:
I've seen too many tweeters go out with under-powered amplification. In contrast, I do not recall a tweeter ever going out with sufficient power. (With the exception of a speaker that had a poorly-designed series crossover.) Now woofers are a different story...Some speaker manufacturers even print warnings in their instruction manuals stating that using under-powered amplifiers will take out tweeters. (And use of such amplifiers would "void" the warranty.) Have you wondered why just about every decent speaker out there has a *minimum* power rating? If clipping did not take out tweeters, there would be no *need* for a "minimum" power rating.
