Do Audiophiles blow speakers?

Ok so I am bored and curious, I have never and probably never will over-drive an amp or blow speakers....but I want to know if this happens with trained listeners or is mostly done by the masses of listeners who dont care about critical listening?
I know that lack of amp power usually blows a speaker, I just thought some stories would make for good reading.

Audiophiles do not blow speakers when sober.

You, Sir, did not blow up your speakers.

Your faulty preamp blew up your speakers.

I stand by my position that audiophiles, when sober, do not blow up speakers.

Despite my veiled confession, I do think that clipping blows speakers more than volume, absolute power or intoxication.

Relative to your speakers, could your amp be a bit underpowered?
