The AVR I have is the Harmon/kardon 645. In stereo mode the wattage 85. As far as clipping goes I have never driven the speakers past -20. I did remove the tweeter and both wires were connected tightly. Maybe just a bad driver, it does happen from time to time. As Alan Lofft has said, under powering speakers do more damage than over powering them.
