In reply to:
Third, there is no DC componet that results from clipping. It's at worst a square wave
I know, I was really generalizing... I was saying a square wave is a lot closer to DC then a true signal is (which would be closer to AC). And if a speaker is rated for say 200watts... I can't believe it could handle 200watts of DC as well as if it was a nice sine wave. There has to be some cool down period while the AC-like signal changes direction. The power presented to the coil is not constant in that senerio.
