What hurts a speaker?


I have never really been clear on what hurts a speaker. Will the popping sound on vinyl hurt speakers? What about distorted material i.e. track 9 on Bjork's Homogenic album? This song contains digital distortion.

A recent and real story: Fired up the amp only to jump backwards at a deafening and startling sound. The 1.5 yr. old had adjusted the volume (to the top) and switched the tuner on. The woofer seals both split. Fortunately, it was the cheap (relatively) basement system!
