You have the beauty of the Klipsch line. In the old days, when a 35 watt tube amp was a grand, when a grand was a LOTT of money, you could have insane speakers, with a Yamaha regular amp, with 30-35 watts, and still not break the bank. At less then half volume, in my little house in Capitola, I could bring the police, and all the neighbors at much less then half volume. I solved the problem by facing the speakers into the hill side, and focusing in, towards the center of the house. AT decent volume, you could still FEEL the windows vibrate at less then half volume.
For the buck, the Klipsch line required a third of the power the JBL's, or Bose did to give you the same quality sound.
Now, with the new amps, those same speakers are much cleaner, at much lower volumes, and, with the support of a sub, a decent center, and klipsch medium priced shelf speakers for back speakers, it puts most theaters to shame. I can't tell you how many times friends have said, and neighbors;-), that it sounds better then a theatre.
Now, with great amps being relatively cheap, and power much cheaper, those same speakers are just insane, when driven with a high powered, clean amp.
Cost for the amp is about the same, but instead of dual 35 watt channels, you get 5 channels, at 100 watts, for the same price.
As for blowing speakers, the only way to really do that is press the amp, or over power the speakers. In other words, you take a 100 watt amp, and play it at between 95-99% where it will distort a little bit.
The distortion looses control of the speaker surface, distorts, gets out of time, and stretchs the speaker, causing more distortion, and blown speaker.
If you get great speakers, a great amp, and keep it under the distortion range of amp and speakers, they should last forever.
My point is the shuttle sound is probably distorted recording, causing
poor sound output, at max range for both speakers and amp. A funeral
can be held....
