Also, distortion DOES NOT BLOW SPEAKERS! Think about it, if distortion blew speakers, then how the hell could anyone ever listen to Nirvana, any punk band, 60's music, etc. A speaker will produce whatever signal is fed into it until it's physical limits are reached, which can ONLY happen with too much power (unless the speaker is defective). Can a "500 watt" amp blow a 600 watt speaker? For the most part yes. But, that's because a true 500 watt amp should be capable of transients in the range of 1000-2000 watts. If the input is clipped (maximally driven), then it's possible to nuke the driver.

And I'd like to add that the biggest determining factor for power handling is the enclosure. Just because the driver says it can handle X watts, doesn't mean it can do so in every given alignment.

And I'd like to add that I agree 100%. Power handling is 100% enclosure-specific.
