Dale, you are absolutely correct. Never undersize your speakers. A lot of people buy high watt amps thinking its better without thinking about what the speaker handles. I have never blown a speaker, but with today's choices of equipment, there is very little guidance for the novice trying to purchase this type of equipment, plus, a lot is not manufactured any more for the real professional sound, but rather by pricing to attract the novice, like bheringer, looks great, stops there.
As for the technician, While i think i know sound, working with techs out of Nashville occasionally, brings me back down to a much humbler approach.
Again, thanks for your service and devotion to this forum.
