[QUOTE="Stefan, post: 67114, member: 793"] From what I understand it's got to do with the amp's abilty to deliver enough current to the speakers. As the speakers are driven harder, a drop in impedance can occur, which needs more current to maintain the same power output. If the amp can't supply enough current, it'll distort (due to the powersupply not being able to feed enough current into the caps?) and that can damage your speakers. I could be wrong, but this is just my understanding. I'm sure someone will give you a better more knowledgable answer though. [/QUOTE]
