Average Power Increase |

That Rane article on how the increase in average power from clipping is what burns out tweeters is great.
"... But home audiophiles are unlikely to tolerate levels of clipping that would be tolerated in
pro sound."
Maybe, OTOH the average listener thinks an amplifier driven 6dB into clipping sounds fine.
When I ask these people to set the volume control at the onset of distortion, it ends up about 10dB into clipping(I kid you not!).
I found on the typical stereo rig that if you fused the speaker input for 1/4 the rated amplifier wattage that you got rid of 90% of the tweeter failures.
On most program material this was 6dB~10dB into clipping.
