I have never really been clear on what hurts a speaker. Will the popping sound on vinyl hurt speakers? What about distorted material i.e. track 9 on Bjork's Homogenic album? This song contains digital distortion. What doest hurt a speaker?
Yawning and falling asleep is very insulting to a speaker. Also having a conversation with someone can also be a bit offensive to a speaker. Showing up late, and/or leaving before the speaker finishes is rude to a speaker. And never mock or make fun of a speaker.
You are most likely to notice a problem with your speaker after getting a demo of your buddy's new kilobuck set up. This can be corrected by spending an equal amount of money yourself.
