In Reply to: Music that can break a speaker? posted by jimbill on January 1, 2009 at 20:45:26:
It's not music dependent, but rather recording dependent first, then power dependent next, and gain dependent last.
With the amount of compression in today's pop recordings, nothing will harm speakers apart from clipped signals. The Telarc 1812, if your pickup will track it, is as close as it gets (my Musicmaker III objects a bit, tonearm a touch too heavy), or perhaps other uncompressed symphonic recordings.
Then again, if your speakers are harmed by playing the 1812 with unclipped signal at a reasonable volume, they're junk anyway and unfit for Hi-Fi duty.
