It's especially bad because distorted signals have so much energy and compression compared to spanky clean. No wonder so many speaker voice coils burned out back in the days when backline was king.
So I chose a 2x to 3x safety margin, and I've slowly gravitated away from 100W amps, and 'make do' with their 30-50W little brothers into 100W rated loads. (Or a properly designed MV 100Wer.)
Any info you can provide?
Thanks for the tag! We have a handy article below that may help:

We appreciate some users may want to drive their power-amp into saturation and agree you can get some killer results with this; however the manner in which power amplifiers are configured / designed between amp models differs greatly so there is no hard and fast rule as to where to set your power-amp. As such, if you are using a Captor / Captor X with an amp rated higher than 100W, please refer to our help desk article above. If you have any additional questions, please let me know!
That's great to hear! We appreciate the feedback and will relay back to the team for future considerations!
