My favorite is "distortion kills drivers" - when it's just the extra power from the clipped (eg: distorted) signal that does it. Nothing magical about distorted power or you'd see a whole lot more guitar cabinet speakers exploding.
I guarantee my 250-watt road gear amp sitting the the basement won't be killing off a big boy 4" coil SPL driver any time soon no matter how much I clip it
