My point and I do have one is virtually ANY amplifier can damage speakers

The only exception would be an extremely low power amplifier that simply can't provide enough voltage to damage a voice coil.
Perhaps 5 wpc or less could not damage any tweeter I've ever used in my DIY speakers.

In my teenage years a friend and I actually did an experiment with a 1-2 wpc amplifier originally from a TV set used to drive an EPI 100 speaker -- extemely LOUD and DISTORTED -- lots of clipping -- we had to leave the room the sound was so distorted --- but the amp could not damage the speaker at all.
