You know when you overdrive an amplifier the sound gets all kinds of nasty when you do tube amps can mask this to some extent but they still get nasty too just not as nasty as low powered solid state does normally most people are never going to use more than a few watts and if you have efficient speakers above 95db it is the first watt that really matters the most.
Low power amps and speaker damage?
I've always read that low power amps are more likely to damage speakers than high powered ones (provided they're not overdriven). This normally in threads where a member asks something like: Will my 200 watt amp damage my speakers rated at 100 watts?
I've driven several 86db, or thereabouts, efficient speakers with just a few watt tubed amps and have never damaged my speakers.
Was I just lucky or is it I didn't push the speakers into loud enough volume for the low watts to damage the drivers?
Thanks, and stay safe.
