Well he certainly knows now...
I ran into a situation last year where a speaker failed while our amps were being used. The problem was that the tweeter circuit failed, but the tweeter was OK. Now anyone who knows about speakers knows that the crossover for a tweeter does not fail from excessive amplifier power without the tweeter also failing, but try telling this to a millionaire that thinks he knows better!
So I took the issue to the web, knowing full well the truth of the matter. I refrained from naming the speaker (one that retails in excess of $50K), but otherwise posed the details as accurately as I could. In this day and age of the 'web, if you let something fester like that it can have a way of blowing up if you don't handle it with some decorum. The end result was I had a thread I could point to in case the guy was wanting to believe that I didn't know what I was talking about.
But OTOH I really did want to know if anyone out there had experienced some situation where an amp could damage a tweeter crossover without also doing damage to the tweeter. I put myself through college by working at a consumer electronics service department (started working there in 1974) and while I had never heard of things happening that way, I had to wonder what my role was even then. So if I can allow *myself* that option, at least from my point of view I should also accord that to others.
However, the short answer is yes, there is a PR aspect.
