Default why is distortion bad for speakers

I think he indicated that _clipping_ was really bad for speakers since
it could cause them to overheat. Other forms of distortion, probably
not, unless you're applying a strong DC component to the signal...

See the other posts in that thread for much flamage on the topic.
