Overpowering Speakers


Am I in any danger sending 300+ WPC to a speaker rated for about a buck twenty? (120rms)

Or are their other factors like efficiency etc?

Elizabeth is right on the money. Before in my 2 channel set up in my basement I had a Phase Linear 700B powering a pair of Tannoy bookshelf speakers that were rated up to 120 watts at 8 ohms. I was careful with the raising of the volume and listening level and had no issues. The music sounded fine and the speakers were not damaged. People thought I was crazy to use a Flame Linear or Fuzz Linear to power bookshelf speakers for a time but I just had to be careful.
