Underpowering any speaker can ruin it. Any amp that isn't up to snuff can ruin ..... Bottom line is that it's hard to buy a used speaker. Plenty of folks do and are happy, but I've heard so many horror stories about used speaker buys. I have sold 7 pairs in my life and all three ProAc's need all new driver surrounds or speakers. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to screw anyone, but plenty of folks do and will.
I would only purchase if I knew the person or maybe if it was local and I could go listen first, but even then, I'd shy away. That's just me adn I really that, but often times folks end up with inferior amps in order to get 'better' speakers and they ruin them. I agree that it's not just distorted rock.
