So I have blown 2 woofers in my Klipsch KG4's (one on left speaker and one on right) ever since getting this refurbished Sansui 8700DB reciever (160 watts rms).

I do get aggressive on the volume sometimes turning volume to 60 (on 100 point dial) with loudness off. But never more than that.

Speakers are rated at 100 watt max. Could be as simple as that, but I've heard that most of the time it doesnt matter i.e "a 30 watt amp can blow 150 watt speakers". Possibly just hearsay.

Either way, I've blown two woofers by playing too loud on some otherwise outstanding speakers.

Could it be I need to upgrade to speakers that handle more power? If so, Ill take any suggestions. I play only vinyl and listen to EVERYTHING from 1920 to 2010.

Or, is there a deeper more technical issue I need to consider?

Any thoughts are appreciated. I am new to a lot of the hi-fi and sound technology jargon but will attempt to follow along doing my best.
