Ok, only kidding. But once you hear the damage, it's too late. I know this from experience (not with my Axiom's BTW).
I am not saying receivers are bad, actually I think they are very practical. You just need to understand their limitations and act accordingly. If not, you'll be opening your pocket book to repair speakers. I just choose instead to open my pocket book to get more power to minimize the possibility of speaker damage.

The same consideration should go towards your hearing. Once you have damaged your ears its too late. Listening at levels of 100+ dbs can really do a lot of harm.
