And I'm not electrical engineer. But it would seem, if i understand you correctly that assuming people use an amp that can overpower a tweeter...say a 50 watt+ amp. That in either case the amp CAN blow a speaker. Or, are you saying there is no way a 50 watt amp can blow a 175 watt speaker even if you crank the volume knob to full circle? I'm not sure I'm following your point.I'm guessing that what your saying is that the 50 watt amp will, generally, distort and clip and thus provide the listener a big warning thatt their tweeter is unhappy. If you used a 300 watt amp with the 175 watt speaker there will not be that *Distorted Sound* and therefore no warning and oops you've fried the speakers.
Again, I may not be a scientist or an electrician...but lots of people blow their speakers using an amp with a lower watt rating than the speaker...and I would bet it happens in the VAST majority of cases where a speaker is blown. If it is impossible to blow a speaker with a lower powered amp...then why does it happen in most cases?
I'm not trying pretend I know more about the issue than you...you obviously know what you're talking about...I just know people and you hear it all the time and even the big speaker companies get their complaints *Wharfedale as an example* where people have blown their tweeter *With* a lower powered amp.
It ould seem to me that UHF says either way for different reasons a speaker will be blown no matter the amp(leaving 3 watt sets aside).
