I could feed a speaker a clipped or distorted signal 24/7. It doesnt matter what the shape of the sine wave is.There are only two ways to kill a speaker. To over power it (thermally) causing the speaker to burn out. Or mechanically, when the speaker movement goes beyond its limits.A speaker is merely a transducer, takes electrical energy and turns it into sound energy. It doesnt care what the signal looks like, yes the music may start sounding like shit when it distorts or clips, but that isnt what kills the speaker. I could feed a speaker a distorted or clipped signal 24/7 and it will be perfectly fine.Now, clipping an amp an amp can cause a speaker to fail. However, it isnt the clipping that kills it, its the increased amount of power delivered to the speaker.</blockquote>
