re: #3

No, I meant for the same gain, a higher powered amp (not clipping) will have a higher RMS power than a lower powered amp that clips, and I supposed that is more likely to cause damage (i.e. the damage is simply a function of power being supplied, and an amp clipping off the top of the waveform actually lowers the average power - so buying a bigger amp with more headroom does not save the tweeters if you like earsplitting SPLs)
