What does clipping sound like?

I have been wondering if the break up distortion I hear with my 60 watt tube amps is because I have insufficient power for my 91db 6 ohm minimal speakers. I do question if that rating of my speakers is correct.
When the music swells, I get break up sound. It is not on low notes or high volume. I do wonder how my speakers would perform with a lot more power. I have always thought that any speaker likes more power.

Music is not clear....
there’s a roughness to the highs and midrange which leads to blown resistors in speakers crossovers.  

     Alcohol costs more damage to tweeters and crossovers than normal. 

  Luckily Energy had such good service(Klipsch actually)
sent me a brand new crossover, opened speaker, labeled wires to what drivers....replaced crossovers,.........as new!
don’t turn volume up so much thee days. 

   Have old crossovers and may b sending to be fixed. Will b nice to have backup!
