Default Audio amp 40 watts, loudspeaker 19 watts; How to adapt?

I agree with all of the above. In fact, it can be advantageous to
have an amp that is rated higher in power than the rating on the
speakers. I've seen a 40 watt amp fry a pair of speakers rated at
100 watts each due to significant abuse of the system (they were
trying to use it in a hall much larger than they should have).


That's what you get when you assume power ratings to accurately reflect true
power handling capabilities.
