When is more power not needed?

I know that giving too little power is much more likely to damage the speakers, but giving too much and playing too loud can damage the speaker, as well.

My room is tiny, I can't fit my ML Prefaces anywhere else except where they are. They sound great to me and everyone else that has heard them in my room.

I'd be more concerned with my ears than speakers when playing audio too loud.
