How does a speaker blow out?


I don't understand how a speaker "blows" if the wattage of the amplifier is less than the upper limit of the speaker's limit.  Then again, I guess I don't really understand what "clipping" is.  The amp is 22w, I was listening at a moderately high level, there was a bass heavy section in the music, and then I heard the most painful noise coming from one the of woofers.  Sad.

Power and speaker quality are what you need

i have a Krell 700fpbcx puts out 700 watts crystal clear sound 👩‍⚕️ paired with a set of B&W 801 series 2 these were used in most recording studios until the nautilus

line came out I could rattle the windows in the house

but this is just a good example of a high quality power amp matched with speakers that can handle the power
