EVH 5150 III comes with 20-watt speakers?

[Philboski]

OK, I am a little confused by this --the new EVH 5150III comes with Clestion EVH speakers, which are supposed to be Greenback clones, listed at 20W each.

With a 100 watt head.

Is this a recipe for expensive speaker replacement, or is this to ensure that the speakers add their own distortion to the mix? I know the original Greenbacks were 20W speakers, and his old Super Lead was a 100 watt head.

I wouldn't worry about it, the same speaker has seen world tours with amps cranked for weeks on end. Celestion, EVH Gear all say its fine for the 100 watt head... Having the speakers majorly stressed is obviously something EVH wanted.
