Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating?
That just sounds like a poorly engineered driver. That thing would tear itself apart eventually even at moderate levels. The main concern in over driving a speaker is exceeding it's X-Max rating. 
Accuphase P-300, worth upgrading?
The only way you will change the sound of your amp in rebuilding is by improving it. Especially an amp as old as yours. Components have come a long way since 40 years ago. The only limiting factor is the competence of the one doing the work. This ... 
why performance increase after pause?
I guess my humor's a little on the dry side. I find Elizabeth to be very knowledgeable and to the point. So I just assume she takes comments like mine light-heartedly. 
why performance increase after pause?
Oh, so you've had us fooled until now? Nothing like representing yourself honestly eh, Elizabeth? I wonder, can your Bryston handle the truth? Davehrab, sure, I don't really care that much about it. I was just curious if anyone else noticed the sa...

Marakanetz, the first sentence was for you, the second for Rpeluso. Sorry for the confusion. However, I'm with you! 
why performance increase after pause?
Well, not quite. BTW, you capitalized a second letter there, Mapman. But seriously, I do notice a more dynamic sound in the first cut after pausing when the gear is at idle for maybe 5 min or so. Shorter or longer periods don't seem to make a diff...

Oh, so it is just a visual thing with you tube guys. I thought so.

Awe, come on Markanetz. I have no Sinatra. I truly don't think he's worthy. Way over blown. However my music is across the board. Last couple of times, it was Stevie Ray Von's Tin Pan Alley and Donovan's Mellow Yellow.
