I apologize I dont mean receivers suck, I meant that in retrospect.A Monoblock amplifier having a independent power supply and chassis as well as being built just for one job will allow them to out perform most integrated units 
child-free environment?
On a side note I have a dog and used to have an apartment, I trained that dog to never go near the cables, One day she was super excited playing fetch on my steps which is near the stereo, The ball landed next to a random cable 2 feet away from my...

Can you overpower a speaker
Do you really just gain volume output, I always noticed more a present shoved at you feeling with power, once you get to 200 watts to it just kind of "get louder"? really?
