One thing that can occur (perhaps rare, but it's there) with a low power amp driving a 'low power' rated driver is 'heat death'.
One out of 4 speakers, driven at a moderate level (nothing ear wrenching) cooking the voice coil.
Being able to physically touch the backside of the magnets on all 4:
3 were warm to the touch, the 4th was literally Hot.
Since this occurred during a 'DIY test', I wasn't totally shattered by this result...in fact, I'd more or less expected something to happen.
In this way, I know where a weak link is, and can address it.
*L* But I do nasty things to innocent speakers....;)
