Contrary to conventional wisdom, far more speakers are damaged as a result of underpowering,
than by overpowering. When a receiver runs out of power, it still tries to reproduce the musical
signal by “clipping” the waveform. At loud volumes, this clipping introduces gross amounts of
distortion to the speaker, eventually destroying it. If the sound from your in-wall speakers starts to
sound distorted, turn down the volume.
Having plenty of reserve power will help your speakers reproduce dynamic contrasts and quick
transients of music much more effectively. But you do have to exercise good judgement; too much
power will also permanently damage a speaker. Again, if you hear distortion, turn the volume down.
