Speaker wattage question

Any speaker has limits, and modern speakers generally are going to be way too loud for anyone nearby to enjoy before those limits are reached. Your 165 watt amp will be using far less than its max before the speaker seems to be screaming, and if you push a SS amp too far it can certainly damage the drivers from the distortion that shows up eventually. Kind of like driving a sports car…you know it might be fast, but a sharp corner at 120 might be less of a good idea. Clipping a 165 watt amp means you're drunk and attempting to get your dinner party guests to twerk or something, or you sat on your remote, but with your rig you should get some nice sound before any issues come up…with SS amps the good news is the distortion is at the end of the power limit and generally results in clean "head room" which is fine for all but the wimpiest drivers. I have a much older pair of KEFs (Q10s…ancient) that I've never driven hard enough to hurt 'em…luckily…they still work perfectly as deck speakers and have been subjected to SS slam frequently…within reason.

If pushed, do I risk damaging a driver, or will I simply get clipping?

In my experience, most speaker drivers will blow because of clipping.  Yes, you can send to much power (wattage/current/voltage) to a speaker and pop it, but normally clipping is the issue.

With your rig, it would be INCREDIBLY loud, way before you do damage and you would surely turn it down long before this happens.

With high-powered amps, you can damage speakers with both prolonged high volume listening, where the heat from current running through the voice coil will do the damage, or from short, very intense bursts of power that are typical of accidents, such as leaving the volume knob all the way up, or accidentally unplugging or plugging in an interconnect when the amp is on.  

Thanks, all. I appreciate the responses!

Clean power is key.. Its not at all uncommon to have more power then the speakers are rated to handle use it wisely( i have 275w a side at 8ohms into 6 ohm spkrs rated 50-200 w) .There's nothing like more cowbell :)
also most not all amps are clipping long before the volume is all the way up ..not all but many..
