	Marginally-rated high frequency drivers can sometimes be blown
out by using an amplifier with too LOW of a power rating: If your kid
(certainly YOU would never do this) cranks up the volume so loud that
the amp is consistently/constantly driven into clipping, guess which
little driver gets to try to reproduce all those nth-order distortion
products. Right-o, bunky: the tweeter!

	So put that in your speaker system an' smoke it...
