I have learned about underpowered amps taking tweeters out the "hard" way- in my *own* system... Several times, in fact...When it happened to me the first couple times, I did not realize an underpowered amp was causing the problem. Then Rudy Stoklos, head of Saras of America, found out I was using a 30-watt receiver to drive his speakers, he went on a verbal rant about under-powered amps clipping and taking out tweeters. I then went to a 70-watt Amber Series 70 amplifier, and I never blew out a Saras tweeter again.
All I am doing is attempting to save people the grief in making this mistake. If you think that's "wrong," oh well...
There are a lot of people I respect in regard to audio advice, but Tom Nousaine is *not* one of them... (I know him very well from rec.audio.)
