[QUOTE="kinosfronimos, post: 973551, member: 14190"] Ah! Okay that's, I think I have a better understanding now... So of I understand correctly: the amplifier's own distortion (cos the underpowered lower wattage amp is trying too hard to drive higher wattage speakers) will mess the speakers - as although not mechanically driving the speakers too far back and forth, rather the disharmony of the white noise (amp's distortion) the speakers are playing will damage them? Considering my initial scenario above, this wouldn't happen with a 30W amp trying to drive 40-150W speakers with a sensitivity of 90dB per watt at 1m? [/QUOTE]
