[QUOTE="kinosfronimos, post: 974015, member: 14190"] Thanks for all the replies, I think I have a better understanding: both over powered and underpowered amps will cause speaker damage for different reasons. If as in my initial instance, an underpowered amp-CD player combo output to 3.5mm jack, and into 2RCA of an adequately powered AVR, there would be no harm of mismatched amp, as the AVR would be doing the work of powering the large speakers (just not the decoding) [/QUOTE]
