Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker?


I have a McIntosh 402, rated 400 watts continuous per channel. If I use it to drive a pair of Klipshorns or LaScala [specified to handle 100 watts continuous] or similar high-efficiency speakers, do I risk damage to such speakers?

Rb61 agree. +1. My experience with my Tekton speakers and my Tsakadiris 150 w mono? I got involved so much on the music playing. I crank the volume beyond the speakers limit , I blew the tweeter.So be careful.
