Not that it matters.Please define "underpowered amplification" and
"sufficient power" in a way that could help fellow audiophiles
convert those terms into specific rms watts per channel
for their speakers.Did it ever occur to you that "minimum power recommendations"
may have more do do with the sound quality provided by the speakers?
You are speculating on what the words in the owner's manual really mean. The fact is clipping harmonics from music can only account for a very small perentage of the rms power needed to damage voice coil wires/adhesives. It's just a coil of copper wires glued to a cylindrical former -- so in plain English, only too much electricity can do damage ... and clipping harmonics are just a very small percentage of the electricity, so they should receive only a very small percentage of the blame.Nationally known speaker tester Tom Nousaine on "underpowered amplifiers" from a use net post (see link):
"You won't protect your speakers by using a larger amplifier.
It will just burn them out as fast by supplying more power no matter what the condition of the signal." TOM NOUSAINE
