Those basic measurements are useless and should be of no concern. Unless you listening at extremely loud levels or have very inefficient speakers, you are probably listening, on average, to one or two watt maximum- certainly not at anything close to the 50 watt or 70 watt maximum. That being said, music is a very dynamic sound which can take up to 1,000 times the average energy to accurately reproduce a transient for milliseconds. What you should be concerned about is how much distortion is caused by these transients and how well the amplifier can control the drivers in the speakers. Generally, when you blow a driver is when you feed it to much distortion and it reacts asymetrically. Therefore, what you want is an amp that has plenty of reserve power.gjg
