Is there a downside to using a speaker thats rated at 300 watts in a 50 watt amp?
Thanks in advance!

Speaker Change
I tried a Telonics NEO 12 in my NV112 and ended up going back to the Blue Marvel speaker. It sounds better to my ears.

Right- Appreciate the info !
I'm desperately trying to find ways to be able to keep playing due to my back & shoulder being out of commission. Got ahold of one of Mr. Furlongs' 300 watt speakers, put it in a little cabinet. Had to sell amps and got ahold of a quilter mini-50 watts, so I can still make a noise.
Thanks again for the info!

I don't know if it is true...would like to hear knowledgable opinions ...but I've heard that a very high power speaker isn't as responsive to low power inputs...that they have a "sweet zone" for getting the frequency response they are designed for, and it is not really hit by a low power input...
