It will even survive the crowbar protection system (until that
protection system is destroyed).

FWIW The Armstrong 732 is also "safe" for this... in the sense that the
amplifier will survive driving the 63/57 beyond their limits. Afraid I did
once set fire to a 57 when testing the 732. The amp was fine, but Quad were
somewhat surprised by the state of the 57 when I sent it for repair.

But I do agree with Phil's general point. It can often be quite hard to use
published specs for such matters. That's why "prohibiting" giving details
seems a really weird idea. It made sense to mandate how the 'rated' power
should be measured and specified. But it doesn't make sense to try and
'ban' any further details being given in addition.
