What causes clipping?

Posted by Mark Sung [IP: 171.209.3.135] on December 31, 1998 at 02:47:16:

Is there someone who can explain to me what speaker clipping is actually caused by? Is it the amount of current that the receiver puts out?

You see, I have a HK AVR65 receiver, and I do turn up the volume quite high. I want to make sure that I am not damaging my speakers by listening to it at high volumes. The HK puts out 65wpc +/- 40amps. At what point should I limit the volume.

Thanks
