so even compression drivers designed for PA use (i still say ANY PA speaker should be able to handle at least 200w minimum) can have ridiculously low rated power. there has to be a formula that converts a tweeter's RMS to "real world use wattage". i can't believe any compression driver is intended for a 35w rated speaker. a home speaker? OK
