My experience with the general public was that low power amps
operated into distortion/clipping are responsible for the vast
majority of speaker destruction.

IME, nothing fries speakers like a fool and a really powerful amp. I think
that the real problem is that people listen while drinking and partying
and
just get carried away.

I certainly don't want to put words into Dick Pierce's mouth, but I believe
"Mr. Speaker" has posted on several occasions that the most common
mechanism for speaker failure is the one Wylie cites - clipping by an
underpowered amp. Any comment, Dick?
