How easy is it to blow speakers?

Posted by Les Anderson (A) on July 23, 2016 at 11:47:22

I have had ls50s for a while and driven them with a 60/120 wpc Bel Canto integrated to good effect. I recently acquired a monster 250 wpc Musical Fidelity amplifier and I cannot believe how this thing man handles the Kefs. The woofers look like they are ready to jump out of the speakers.

I understand that under powering a speaker with an amp that clips is far worse, and I am assuming as long as things don't audibly distort I should be fine. But it is still shocking to see what these little woofers are being subjected to.
