Manufacturer speaker power recommendations


If lower power/clipping is worse than high power (rserve for a speaker, why do manufacturers provide recommendations?
ie. 50-200watts? Using ie. 300/400w amp doesn't damage speaker, does it?

Using the higher power amp is less likely to damage the tweeter, provided of course that you resist the urge to turn it up to 11, which is more likely to occur if you use a lower power amp. Higher power suggested limit is most likely, IMO, to protect manufacturer from someone using a 1KW amp and then asking for warranty replacement when they turn it up to 11.
