paraneerAdd to that a third, any high negative phase angles at low impedance's as well.
Speaker wattage ratings are generally meaningless. The two key specs are impedance and sensitivity when matching an amp to a pair of speakers.

Speaker wattage question
I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the appropriate forum.
I am running KEF LS50's with a Parasound Integrated amp. The amp is rated at 165 WPC @ 8 ohms. The speakers are rated for 25-100 watts (and are possibly lower than 8 ohms according to some sources).
If pushed, do I risk damaging a driver, or will I simply get clipping?
Any help appreciated and please pardon my ignorance on something I'm sure is common knowledge.
