If lower power/clipping is worse than high power (rserve for a speaker, why do manufacturers provide recommendations? ie. 50-200watts? Using ie. 300/400w amp doesn't damage speaker, does it?
It is more complex than a single number. A few badly distorted watts are worse than a moderate number of clean undistorted watts but as Swampwalker said, not a zillion clean watts.
