While I agree that a low watt speaker will "break up" due to "X" amount of power going into it, I would have to warn about this practice. This is something that has been in practice since the dawn of rock. It takes experience to do this. Too much power for too long will end up with a fried speaker. They say that a 25 watt speaker taking 50 watts sounds its best right before it fries.
