Do Audiophiles blow speakers?

Ok so I am bored and curious, I have never and probably never will over-drive an amp or blow speakers....but I want to know if this happens with trained listeners or is mostly done by the masses of listeners who dont care about critical listening?
I know that lack of amp power usually blows a speaker, I just thought some stories would make for good reading.

Fotis,

I noticed you still called him a friend. If someone did that to my speakers he would have gotten a free trip on "boot airlines" right out the front door.

Good luck with the therapy. Currently both my systems are down and I've been spending most of my time in the fetal position.

Audiophile for 40 years.
NEVER have I blown a speaker, or an amp (though I did once blow a fuse on my amp from fiddling with the wires.
I used to play LOUD music.
I always had good quality amps and speakers.
