This is why you want to pick your self appointed expert carefully….
Power supply fuses not only protect the house but the power supply. Clipping may or may not take out a fuse.
Effects[edit]Difference between clipped and maximum unclipped waveformsSpectrograph showing the odd-order harmonics of a sine wave pushed into hard clippingIn a transistorized amplifier with hard clipping, the gain of the transistor will be reducing (leading to nonlinear distortion) as the output current increases and the voltage across the transistor reduces close to the saturation voltage (for bipolar transistors), and so "full power" for the purposes of measuring distortion in amplifiers is usually taken as a few percent below clipping.
Because the clipped waveform has more area underneath it than the smaller unclipped waveform, the amplifier produces more power than its rated (sine wave) output when it is clipping. This extra power can damage the loudspeaker. It may cause damage to the amplifier's power supply or simply blow a fuse.
