Default How do you personally shop for Hi-Fi speakers?

Sure

#2. Define "something stupid".


Anything that causes damage to your speakers or amplifier. You can hear
when something is clipping, so when you hear it, turn the volume down a
notch.

But I can't stress the importance of the efficiency of the speakers.
You're going to want to listen at a volume that you enjoy, and maybe a
little louder now and then. If a new set of speakers OF ANY IMPEDANCE is
substantially lower than your present speakers, you may try to push too
much power into them to get the volume you want, and that's going to put
a strain on the speaker, the amplifier, or both, resulting in a strain
on your wallet.
