Thats a good point Worfzara. With a big company like Energy (know owned by Klipsch) I would be surprised if the owners manual was written by any of the engineers. I'm sure it's delegated to another department like marketing for example.
I agree about not putting any stock into damaging the speakers before the 100hrs mark if played to loud. Energy speakers are well engineered and use good drivers. Statements such as those are to prevent the owner from returning the speakers (or to keep them longer) during the return period in case they are not liking the sound.
