What do you think of this? (speaker wattage information)

[Stewie]

I won't say who's site this is from, but what the heck are they saying about speakers? and doesn't this go against the TB mantra " you can't underpower a speaker?

When it comes to compatibility, there are three things to consider. First, you'll want to match the impedance of your original speakers. Any mismatch is likely to result in less than desirable results and may actually damage your amplifier. It's also important that you more or less match the wattage of the speakers you're replacing. It's okay to choose speakers with a slightly lower wattage rating (provided you don't overpower them), but choosing speakers rated higher than you amp is a great way to blow your bass amp replacement speaker and possibly your amplifier as well. One final consideration is whether the speaker you’re looking at is designed for a closed-back or open-back cabinet,

Bad proofreading?

Maybe they think they'll sell more speakers in the long run if people keep buying (and blowing) under-rated speakers?

It's the internet, anyone can say anything. It's not just wrong about under powering, it's wrong about all three considerations.

Absurdly wrong.
